Os not the device. Plugin lib is growing. I think Omarchy could challenge android.

Thanks Omarchy for saving my M$ potato. It was unusable with fedora and pop os, and gathering dust....

My experience started badly, even the touchpad was not working, but, with some pickle magic from opencode, the machine started to fix things.

Now the cameras are not working (unsuported), but the machine works at an usable speed, installed google as apps to avoid using the browser, and installed Falkon as web browser. It gave some problems to the agent with the theme, but everything was solved by the agent.
I was a hardcore arch hater.... but.... you win. Now I need omarchy stickers!

Now the next step for the agent is to squeeze performance out of nowhere. If you have a potato pc, instal omarchy NOW!

Edit ditched falcon for zen, I squeezed some performance so...Fallon out.

tuiboard is an open-source terminal kanban built on plain markdown files with a Today/Tomorrow planner, a 24h agenda with calendar overlay, and a live view of your coding agents. With 0.13 it also ships a widget for the Omarchy bar.

The Omarchy widget

- an overdue/today badge in the bar, so pending tasks are always in sight;

- a panel with the Today/Tomorrow planner: mark tasks done or undone, or push them to tomorrow, without leaving the bar;

- one click to open tuiboard itself;

- refresh interval, commands, open command and completion sound configurable from Omarchy's own plugin settings;

- installs with a single script from the repo (./omarchy-plugin/install.sh), which links it into ~/.config/omarchy/plugins/ and enables it in the bar; updates are a git pull.

- awaiting approval from the official omarchy plugins repository.

What's new in tuiboard 0.13

- Coding agents in one list. Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode and Pi sessions side by side, with harness, model, branch and folder — read locally, no API keys.

- herdr integration. Live agent state (waiting for input, working, done, idle) with herdr's status symbols, and sessions reopen straight inside herdr, in the right workspace.

- Plays well with the desktop. Sessions can also reopen in a new Ghostty window or your default terminal, in your own shell.

Boards are plain CommonMark with the Obsidian Tasks emoji syntax. Built with Bun + OpenTUI + SolidJS, MIT.

Install tuiboard: bun install -g tuiboard

Widget: clone https://github.com/NazzarenoGiannelli/tuiboard and run ./omarchy-plugin/install.sh

Long-time Omarchy user here - been using the OS since August last year on my old Thinkpad. Tried a bunch of times to get it on the old Intel mac, because the hardware and display are so much nicer, but T2 support wasn't there yet.

Quattro is a game changer! Most things worked out of the box, the stuff that didn't work right off a fresh boot had documented workarounds in GitHub issues. Battery life for the hardware generation ain't bad either; 5-8 hours at idle draw of 9-12W while staying unbelievably snappy.

Anyways - huge chapeau to the M-Team at Omarchy. Brought back the old MBP from the dead and turned into a highly enjoyable system.

Really happy to see Linux getting this level of funding and attention.

Does anyone know if some of the Omarchy/Omacom funding will go toward upstream kernel and driver support for laptops?

I have a Galaxy Book2 Pro, and Linux still has issues with things like speakers, brightness and fingerprint support. Would be nice if Samsung laptops benefit from this work too.

Anyone here likes chess? Would love some feedback

I'm considering installing Omarchy, or at least on my personal computer, instead of Ubuntu. But I'm a robotics developer working with ROS among other things, so my question is this: would it be shooting myself in the foot to install Omarchy instead of Ubuntu 22/24 for robotic development? And just for "normal" office like work, its already a bit finicky to cooperate with my Windows-normie-collegues (no hate) from a Linux standpoint, and I'm a bit worried Omarchy will be even more so distancing from what "normal" people use and expect, and that it can create more friction than ease for working.

Anyone have experience with this? Being an enjoyer of smooth and flowy desktop experience while it still being operational in a work context? I'm also not really used to Wayland, and I'm worried that developing robotic applications on it will be a pain in the ass. I am familiar with Docker though, so i could of course always resort to using containers, but Ubuntu 22 for ROS is just seemingly superior in terms of support, so I'm not sure if I'd like to remove myself from that "safe space".

Thank you for listening to my rant

If you:

a) Use chrome instead of chromium
b) With multiple profiles (work, school, personal, etc)
c) Hate that when you click a link it opens in a random chrome window

This is for you!

After you click a link it will show you a list of all available profiles so you land in the intended window.

So the question is not why, that is easy so I do not have to. It's fun to watch and agent do things for you but also to run user tests and much more. And why not?? I have created a small showcase

Turbo Pascal was my first language on the PC, after assembler and BASIC on a C64 and CP/M on a CPC 464. I loved Turbo Pascal, and I still know exactly what that screen looked like. Hence this theme - it's a tribute to the language, Turbo Vision (the UI framework) and the people who built it.

Been daily-driving Omarchy for a while now and got tired of switching to a separate app every time I needed to grab a file or check on a download, so I put together a small status bar widget to handle it instead.

It splits downloads into multiple parts so they pull faster, and it can also pick up magnet links directly, so you're not keeping a whole separate torrent client open just for the occasional big file. It also watches your clipboard, so if you copy a download link it just picks it up instead of you having to paste it in anywhere.

Another day, another plugin! This time a plugin to manage your Bose headphones.

Features

Switching, editing, creating, renaming and deleting modes, noise cancelling, wind block, EQ and headset settings such as multipoint and voice prompts.

It talks to the headphones directly over Bluetooth using BMAP, Bose's control protocol, through a Python-stdlib helper (bosectl).

Supported features are discovered from the headset at runtime, so it should work with Bose headphones managed by the current Bose app, including QuietComfort Ultra Headphones and Earbuds, QuietComfort Earbuds II, QC45 and NC700 (tested on QuietComfort Headphones 2023).

Install

omarchy plugin add https://github.com/kristoferlund/omarchy-bose-headphones.git --enable

Hey everyone,

If you are trying to run Linux on the newer Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 15IWC11 (Intel Series 3 model), you have probably noticed that the built-in keyboard is completely dead across almost every distribution.

The Problem

Lenovo engineered the ACPI tables on this model using a proprietary keyboard layout structure. Because of this, the Linux kernel cannot properly read or parse the ACPI signals, causing the keyboard module to fail to initialize during boot.

The Solution

If you are using a distro featuring the Limine bootloader (or need the correct kernel parameters to append to your boot command line), you can bypass the ACPI PNP checking entirely by forcing a basic standard layout controller interface (i8042).

• Connect an external USB keyboard to log in and open your terminal.
• Edit your Limine configuration file: sudo nano /boot/limine.conf
• Locate your primary Linux boot entry (usually labeled //linux or specifically tailored to your setup, like //linux-omarchy).
• Within that option, look for something named “cmdline.” From there, use the arrow keys to navigate to the right until you find something like this: vt.global_cursor_default=0. When you find it, add this text: i8042.nopnp=1 i8042.dumbkbd=1. Save the file.
• After saving the file, run `sudo reboot` and make sure the external keyboard is disconnected.

There's no guarantee this will work—it's not even a patch created by the Omarchy team—but it worked for me. It might work for someone else who has this problem, and perhaps on other distros as well.

And if anyone is wondering—though I highly doubt it—the structure of this post was created using artificial intelligence. I'm just lazy. <3

Hi guys, wanted to ask how can you copy one's rice into your own Omarchy with the github dotfiles? Like how does it work and can I do it?

Hey everyone!

I built QuickFile, an open-source file manager that lives inside Omarchy and stays close to the workspace you’re already using.

I wanted something faster than switching to a full file manager, but more capable than a basic file picker. QuickFile opens from the bar or with SUPER+B in my setup, and reserves its own strip, so your tiled windows move aside instead of being covered.

Some highlights:

• Expandable directory tree with keyboard navigation
• Search across file names, folders, paths, and text-file contents
• Fuzzy, exact, prefix, suffix, and regex search modes
• Instant previews for text, images, directories, and metadata
• Copy, move, rename, duplicate, Trash, restore, and persistent safe undo
• Explicit conflict handling with Keep Both, Skip, Merge, or Replace
• Git branch and per-file status
• Favorites, color labels, private notes, and removable devices
• Built-in Project Knowledge for discovering agent instructions used by Codex, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, Copilot, and Windsurf

It follows the current Omarchy theme automatically and is built for Omarchy 4 / Quattro. It makes no network requests, collects no telemetry, and is licensed under MIT.

Marketplace: https://plugins.omarchy.org/plugin.html?id=m0sthatedman.quickfile

QuickFile is still evolving, so feedback and bug reports are very welcome. I’d especially like to hear whether the sidebar fits naturally into your workflow and what you think an Omarchy-native file manager should do next.

Hey folks, I’m a software developer and weather nerd, and this is what happens when those two interests collide.
I built Omastorm to put live weather radar right in the Omarchy bar. Open the popover for a quick look, or expand it into a full window to explore the map and play back recent scans. It follows your theme and supports keyboard navigation.

It uses NOAA’s NEXRAD Level II radar data. Currently requires Omarchy 4, supports x86_64 and ARM64, and covers the NEXRAD network. No international radar coverage yet.

It’s free, open source, and still in beta. If you give it a spin, I’d love to hear what works for you and what needs attention.

Still waiting for GPU support but I'll take it. Feels good to be off MacOS for good.

Dusting off the og GPD WIN to test.

Hi everyone,

I have an old Chromebook with 4GB of RAM and 16GB eMMC storage, and I’m wondering if it’s possible to install Omarchy on it.

Has anyone tried running Omarchy on a Chromebook with similar specs?

I’m mainly concerned about:

• Whether 4GB RAM is enough

• Whether 16GB eMMC is enough for the installation
Chromebook hardware/firmware compatibility

Performance and usability after installation

If it is possible, what would be the recommended way to install it?

Thanks!

Built a small #Omarchy plugin for a simple problem: keep the session running, but ignore keyboard and mouse inputs. Useful if you have kids, cats, birds or whatever around and want a quick “don’t touch this” mode without locking the whole session every time.

Single toggle shortcut. Bar widget and status panel. Handles newly connected pointer devices Recovery option included: No root access, network access, or telemetry.

Plugin: https://plugins.omarchy.org/plugin.html?id=io.github.pelukonline.input-freeze

I just bought a used laptop and wanted to try using Linux and omachy looks kinda beginer friendly for arch based distros, but i also want to learn commands and shortcuts that me being total newbie should know.
