The entire desktop shell has been reimagined in Quickshell - the bar, launcher, menus, notifications, on-screen displays, control panels, lock screen, and polkit agent now all live inside a single long-running shell process with a plugin architecture. That means Waybar, Walker, Mako, SwayOSD, hyprlock, hypridle, swaybg and polkit-gnome are all gone, replaced by one coherent, fully-themed, IPC-scriptable shell. Headline features: reimagine the entire desktop shell in Quickshell; move Omarchy internals from git to system packages for safely separating user modifications; offer dual-boot installation when free space is available; setup a machine for a new owner during install, so OEMs and gift givers can prepare a machine for others; allow for factory reset from new Quattro installs for safe resale/gifting of your machine; shrink the ISO image by over a gigabyte (now under 6GB); speed up installation by +30%; convert all Hyprland configurations to lua for full 0.56 compatibility...."

It ships with what a modern software developer would need to be productive immediately, including Neovim, Spotify, Chromium, Typora, Alacritty, LibreOffice and Zoom. The distribution boots into a text-mode system installer that downloads the latest packages from the Arch Linux repositories during installation to build a complete Hyprland desktop.

This version comes with a "Gaming Edition" tag as it ships with the Steam client installer and menus populated with links to popular remote game servers: "Add streamlined Steam installer that doesn't need user input; add fully preconfigured RetroArch that no longer depends on AUR; add streamlined Bluetooth Xbox controller compatibility without needing to restart; add Lutris Launcher to Install, Gaming for running Battle.net games (Diablo, Starcraft, WoW); add Heroic Launcher to Install, Gaming for running Epic Games (sadly no Fortnite or Rocket League); add Moonlight GameStream client to Install, Gaming for remote play of PC games from Sunshine server; add Xbox Cloud Gaming web app to Install, Gaming for remote Xbox Game Pass play; add Install, Gaming, Remove for removing any of the game setups; fix obstructive SDL_VIDEODRIVER env causing problems with many Steam games."

It is intended for more advanced Linux users and developers. Besides a long list of additions and fixes, the new release also brings important updates to dictation, hibernation and themes: "Voxtype offers a variety of different local AI dictation models. You can install it using Install, AI, Dictation where the default is a 150 MB base English model. After it's installed, you can start dictating using Super + Ctrl + X. While dictating, you'll see a red microphone in the center of the top menu, which you can click to pick another model (or just run 'voxtype setup model' from terminal). Or right-click to edit the entire Voxtype configuration. With Linux running on a million different systems, there is varying levels of support for system sleep, so by default Omarchy will only show the options that work everywhere: lock, screensaver, restart, shutdown. But plenty of systems do support hibernation and suspend, so now you can enable both via Setup, System Sleep. Hibernation requires a swap subvolume of the same size as your physical RAM allotment. That'll automatically be set up when you run the 'Enable Hibernate' option. So too will configuration for suspend-to-hibernate after 30 minutes on systems that support it."

Unlike the previous releases, this one provides a much larger ISO image, suitable for offline installations. "Omarchy 3.0 is a major upgrade for new installations and a wonderful level-up for existing users. The new ISO image doesn't require internet at all and you can install it in less than two minutes. You can now also install Omarchy on most pre-M MacBooks with support for keyboards, WiFi, and the T1 and T2 security chips. This is a decade-long hardware portfolio that we're trying to cover as well as we can out of the box. Existing installations can upgrade as per-normal using Update, Omarchy. New installations should download the fresh, all-inclusive ISO image before beginning, this is a 7 GB ISO image that includes the entire system for offline installation. Note: Ghostty compatibility requires Ghostty 1.2.0, which is still not released on the Arch repository. New super-fast installation ISO image: add everything needed for new all-inclus…
