A full ๐ข๐บ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ต๐ install in 6 seconds. ๐๏ธ RC2 is out.
What's new since RC1, and why you'd care:๐
โธ F1 installer: unpacks a prebuilt system image instead of ~940 packages one by one. That's the 6-second record.
โธ Your browser survives the Quattro upgrade instead of resetting to Chromium.
โธ Unplug your monitor and the laptop screen you'd switched off comes back on.
โธ Snapdragon laptops can finally type at the disk unlock prompt.
It's a release candidate: test machine or a working backup first.
Try it: Update โบ Channel โบ RC, then Update โบ ๐ข๐บ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ต๐.
What's your fastest install time?
Apple hands you the design choices. Omarchy just makes them. ๐ฏ
DHH caught it: a new Mac's first boot now asks how see-through you want Liquid Glass.
Omarchy is his answer to that:
โธ A default theme, fonts and keybindings picked on day one
โธ Apps and the tiling layout already set up
โธ Change any of it later from the menu or the config files
The limit: opinionated defaults won't fit everyone, and deep tweaks mean editing config files.
Good defaults, or more choices?

so impressive
DHH just put Omarchy on a $1,899 Snapdragon laptop. ๐ป
The machine: Asus Zenbook A16 with the Snapdragon X2 Extreme chip.
โธ 48GB RAM, 512GB storage
โธ 3K OLED screen
โธ 1.2kg
Omarchy 4.5 RC2 already ships an ARM installer and lists Snapdragon X laptop support.
Still unknown: DHH hasn't said what works on this exact model, and the repo has no A16-specific setup yet.
Trying it? Keep Windows. The installer pulls signed firmware from it.
Would you swap a MacBook for this?

Omarchy running on the Asus Zenbook A16 with the @Snapdragon X2 Extreme chip.
Very enticing package for $1,899 with 48GB RAM / 512GB storage and that crazy chip plus a 3K OLED in a chassis weighing just 1.2kg.

One ๐ข๐บ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ต๐ keybinding you'd never give up? โจ๏ธ
Forgot half of yours? Super + K lists them all.
Or paste this into your coding agent:
"Read my Omarchy and Hyprland keybindings and make a one-page cheat sheet of the 15 I'd use most, grouped by windows, workspaces and apps. Don't change any files."
Which one is yours?
Omarchy has hundreds of bindings. You only need 12 to feel fast. โจ๏ธ
Default bindings in Omarchy 4.0.6, checked against the source. Super = the Windows key.
Forgot one? Super + K lists every binding.
Omarchy Keys #01. More every week.
Which shortcut do you use the most?

Updated to ๐ข๐บ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ต๐ 4.5 RC2 and your boot menu vanished? It's on purpose. ๐ฅพ
The menu now waits 1 second instead of about 6 and boots quietly.
Need a snapshot or Windows?
โธ Keep tapping any key while it starts (the down arrow works)
โธ It stops at the menu
Want it back for good?
โธ Set timeout: 5 in /boot/limine.conf
โธ Updates leave a timeout you set alone
The video's boot screens are illustrated; the steps are from the release notes.
Won't boot at all? The rescue below has you covered.
What do you boot into besides ๐ข๐บ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ต๐?
Your Omarchy machine won't boot.
Normally that means searching the error on your phone and typing fixes by hand.
Omarchy Rescue by @paolino is a rescue USB with Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode built in.
โ Boot the broken machine from the stick
โ Sign in from your phone by scanning a QR code
โ Type "my machine won't boot"
The surprise: in his demo, the agent finds what broke and fixes it in 56 seconds, start to finish.
It boots the same kernel as Omarchy and can unlock and mount your encrypted install for repairs.
Watch the demo below.

Two weeks ago, ๐ข๐บ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ต๐ booted on a PlayStation 4. ๐ฎ
This week, people are pulling old computers out of drawers:
โธ 2008 ThinkPad X200: 4.5 RC2 installed in 2m 32s
โธ 2012 ASUS A45A: boots in 16 seconds
โธ 2013 MacBook: now its owner's most-used computer
โธ 2017 iMac Pro: "the fastest Mac I use these days"
Their posts are in the reply.

Omarchy running on a PlayStation 4 ๐ฎ๐ง
@meerzulee got it working on real PS4 hardware, no VM, and it runs stable.
The PS4 has an AMD x86 chip, so a full Linux desktop fits. DHH called it "so damn cool" ๐ค
Weirdest machine you've run Omarchy on? ๐
An ink painting that keeps drawing itself across your desktop ๐๏ธ
Shan Shui paints an endless landscape on ๐ข๐บ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ต๐: mountains, trees and little houses.
Why it's nice:๐
โธ The scroll drifts sideways and draws more as it moves
โธ Its menu in the top bar sets the speed, motion and colors
โธ Rice-paper colors make it look like an old scroll
Taking it off:
โธ omarchy plugin remove followed by the plugin's ID
โธ Your usual wallpaper comes back
It's based on Lingdong Huang's Shan Shui project, credited in its menu.
Plugins run with your access and no sandbox, so read the code before installing.
Plugin by @zednaked.

Copied something else? Your previous copy may still be there. ๐
You copied an address. Then a link. Now you need the address again.
๐ข๐บ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ต๐'s clipboard history brings it back:
1. Press Super + Ctrl + V.
2. Start typing part of it, then press Enter.
3. Paste with Super + V.
It keeps text and images. Items you cleared, or that were never copied, won't be there.
Super means the Windows key. Custom bindings may differ.
What do you copy twice most often because you lost the first one?
