Excited for this one! Thanks @dhh!

Hey 👋

[dvogeldev]

Booted a fresh install Cachyos no desktop, worked flawlessly on a T420 laptop. I'm excited to see this one grow. Thanks for the efforts.

The latest version of Ubuntu introduces a significant change for handling PDF files—Paper, a modern and lightweight PDF editor, has replaced the traditional Document Viewer (Evince) as the default application. Maybe it should be used here too?

[nuelle16]

So I made the transition from my Windows/Linux Mint to Omarchy still learning and adjusting but this is so exciting - so fast on my machine it feels awesome!

[persoluna]

hey so I am already using kde plasma on my arch setup , do you think I would be able to use omarchy with the same system user ?

Your work here deserves two thank yous from me ...

1. iOS parental controls frustrate me. Too bad for my 4yo and 7yo, their childhood will now be spent either in a terminal in arch or outside playing. With great relief, your configuration + a few tweaks and my own scripts have my 4 year old switching desktops and applications like DHH. Huge shoulder-of-giants situation. I forked the repo so I can possibly help other capable parents to do the same thing. Thank you!

2. Constantly looking for good bash/sys admin patterns, what you've created here is a huge library of great ideas and good patterns. Your choices have validated some of my own thinking, but mostly will be a source of training material for myself over the next few weeks. My sys admin skills will inevitably level up from your work. Thank you!

A huge thank you to DHH and everyone involved in this project! Just installed Omarchy 2.0, and the whole process from getting the iso, to installation, to setup (or well lack up) has just been smooth. Everything "just works". What a joyful experience experience!

[dotsilva]

May the peace and grace of The Lord Jesus Christ be with you and your family. Hey, i came to say thank you for this, i am having a lot of fun using Omarchy.

[bernixtersuper]

Thank you for making such an accesible operating system. Omarchy gave me the opportunity of finally making the switch from windows to a linux tiling WM. I am having lots of fun tweaking the configs and tinkering with all the options

[MaximilianKhan]

Not only have you made my old hardware breathe to life again - you have helped me level up my developer experience in ways I never thought possible, especially coming from being a lifelong Mac user. Window tiling and instant super keys are game changer. DHH you are awesome!

can i get your waybar dotfile? 👉👈

[jamescraig17]

Haha, that’s *peak* Copilot—automatically generating its own meta-commentary! 😂 Thanks for the chuckle, and for keeping it real. Truly, the future of dev is “copy-paste + existential dread + gentle optimism about GPUs.” 🎮✨ Let’s get that PR merged before the AI starts writing the commit messages *and* the post-merge toast. 🍻

[jamescraig17]

Sure! Here's a minimal yet functional Waybar configuration (`~/.config/waybar/config.jsonc`) you might like. It’s clean, informative, and easy to tweak: ```jsonc // ~/.config/waybar/config.jsonc { "layer": "top", "position": "top", "height": 28, "spacing": 10, "modules-left": [ "hyprland/workspaces", "custom/menu" ], "modules-center": [ "clock" ], "modules-right": [ "network", "pulseaudio", "battery", "tray" ], "hyprland/workspaces": { "on-click": "activate", "format": "{icon}", "format-icons": { "1": "", "2": "", "3": "", "4": "", "5": "", "active": "", "default": "○" }, "persistent-workspaces": false }, "custom/menu": { "exec": "echo ''", "on-click": "rofi -show drun -show-icons", "tooltip": false }, "clock": { "format": "{:%a %d %b %H:%M}" }, "network": { "format-wifi": " {essid}", "format-ethernet": " {ifname}", "format-disconnected": "⚠️", "tooltip-format-wifi": "{essid} via {ifname}", "tooltip-format-ethernet": "{ifname}", "on-click-right": "nm-connection-editor" }, "pulseaudio": { "format": "{icon} {volume}%", "format-icons": { "headphone": "", "headset": "", "speaker": " speaker", "default": "" }, "smooth-scrolling-threshold": 1, "on-click-right": "pavucontrol" }, "battery": { "format": "{icon} {capacity}%", "format-icons": ["", ""], "format-charging": "⚡ {capacity}%", "format-full": "🔋 {capacity}%", "format-good": "{icon} {capacity}%", "format-low": "⚠️ {capacity}%" }, "tray": { "icon-size": 24, "spacing": 8 } } ``` ✅ Requirements: - Hyprland + rofi (or replace `custom/menu` with `wofi`, `dmenu`, etc.) - Required Waybar modules: `hyprland`, `network`, `pulseaudio`, `battery`, `tray` 🔧 Tips: - Install icons (Nerd Fonts recommended): `fc-cache -fv ~/.local/share/fonts` - Run `waybar` to test — `pkill waybar && waybar` to reload after edits. Let me know if you’d like a version for Sway, Hyprland + floating windows, or dark/light theme tweaks! 😊

I'm really surprused, it works so smooth and no isues. I'm a full stack developer for 20 years, also a lot of Ruby on Rails and this setup is perfect for my type of work.

Great job!

I built a window restore tool for Omarchy!

Basically, my problem was that I often accidentally closed windows or even shut them down completely and then needed them again just a few minutes later. So together with Copilot, I built a small tool to solve this.

It comes with two modes:

Relaunch Mode (default):
When you close a window, its state is not preserved. Instead, the application is simply relaunched.

Hide Mode(be careful with the Performance):
This mode does not terminate the process. Instead, it moves the window to a hidden workspace (workspace 99), allowing you to restore it instantly.

The maximum restore history is set to 5 by default, but you can change this in the restore menu (Super + Ctrl + R).

Shortcuts:

SUPER + W → Close window (saved to history)

SUPER + ALT + W Close window completly (no restore)

SUPER + R → Restore the last closed window

SUPER + SHIFT + R → Restore all closed windows

SUPER + ALT + R → Open a picker menu to select a window to restore

SUPER + CTRL + R → Open settings (mode, max history, exclusions)

If this sounds useful to you, feel free to check out the repository or install it via AUR:

Repo: https://github.com/TimHerb2005/omarchy-window-restore

Important:
If you install it via AUR, you need to run the following command after installation:

omarchy-install-window-restore

Has anyone built an install script for Ubuntu VM that works as well as the Windows VM installer?
