    • Description

    What's Changed

    Update existing installations using Update > Omarchy from Omarchy menu (Super + Alt + Space).

    Install on new machines with the ISO:

    IMPORTANT: If upgrading from a version earlier than 3.3.0, you'll see a bunch of Hyprland config errors. They'll go away after the update has fully completed and you've restarted your system. But if you've added any windowrules or layerrules of your own, you'll need to convert them to the new syntax too. You can use https://itsohen.github.io/hyprrulefix/.

    Feature presentations

    New screenshot flow

    PrintScr will now immediately save the screenshot to file and clipboard, then a notification will offer the opportunity to edit it afterwards. This means skipping Satty when all you want is the screenshot. It also means we no longer need Shift + PrintScr to snap straight to clipboard (because the default does both). You can activate the invitation to edit immediately with Super + Alt + , (the keybinding to activate any notification!).

    Tailored Tmux

    Tmux is now installed by default and can be started with the t alias. The keybindings have been tweaked for better ergonomics and the aesthetics optimized to match Omarchy's.

    image

    Make sure to review the Tmux hotkey bindings to use this!

    Tmux layout functions

    Use the new tsl [panels] [command] function to create an agent swarm window, like tsl 4 opencode:

    image

    Use the new tdl [agent] [agent] function to create an IDE with $EDITOR on the left, agent on the right, terminal below:

    image

    And you can use tdlm [agent] [agent] to do this for all the subdirectories within a folder, like tdlm opencode claude:

    Visual background picker

    Instead of having to cycle through all backgrounds, you can now pick the one you want directly with a visual preview.

    image

    Add idle-lock and notification-silencing icons to Waybar

    When you toggle the idle lock (Super + Ctrl + I) or the notification-silencing (Super + Ctrl + ,), you'll now get a notification icon in the waybar. Clicking it will turn off the toggle.

    image

    Hibernation by default

    Hibernation is now setup by default on new installations. It can be removed via Setup > System Sleep > Disable Hibernate.

    Full Asus Zephyrous G14/16 compatibility

    The Asus Zephyrous G14 didn't support screen/keyboard brightness or volume controls out of the box, and the hybrid GPU was stuck with the NVIDIA option always on, which drains the battery fast. But with this version, we now have full compatibility with screen + keyboard brightness controls, volume controls, and Trigger > Hardware > Hybrid GPU to swap between the iGPU (battery efficient) and dGPU (NVIDIA speed). We're also syncing the theme changes to keyboard backlighting.

    NVIDIA GeForce Now

    Games like Fortnite, Call of Duty, Apex Legends, Halo Infinite, and several other competitive multiplayer games don't run on Linux due to the lack of anti-cheat compatibility, but with NVIDIA's excellent cloud gaming service GeForce NOW, you can play them anyway. On a fast internet connection, it's incredibly fluid, and even supports up to 4K @ 120hz gaming. This service can now easily be installed using Install > Gaming > NVIDIA GeForce NOW.

    Removing preinstalls (aka return of "bare mode")

    Okay, fine, you can have it. There's now a single Remove > Preinstalls option that uninstalls all the preinstalled web apps and desktop applications that comes with Omarchy. Now never speak of "bloat" again!

    Swirl buck is the new default

    Tokyo Night will now feature the swirl buck by @Maxteabag as the primary background. Gorgeous remix of the original!
