What Omarchy does Omarchy points M1 and M2 owners to a community route: "Asahi Alarm is a version of Arch for Apple M1/M2 computers built on top of Asahi Linux. You can get Omarchy running on top of that with some effort. See the user-driven guide" (Omarchy on...: Apple M1/M2 chips), and has a team working on a native Apple Silicon installer (omarchy.org). Its Mac support page still lists M-series Macs as not directly supported. What Herald OS has today Line numbers are from main at 8de81cb. On Apple Silicon, Herald OS Linux runs only in a virtual machine: "Apple Silicon Macs cannot boot this natively (no Asahi support for M4/M5); the VM is the target" (docs/LINUX.md line 454). The roadmap lists it as future work: "Still to come: a recovery partition, an NVIDIA image, Fedora Asahi for M1 and M2. Apple Silicon M3 and later stay VM-only until Asahi covers them" (docs/internal/ROADMAP.md lines 59-60). ADR-017 chose Fedora partly because "Fedora Asahi Remix is also the main way to run Lin
What Omarchy does "Omarchy has built-in support for Intel Macs" (Mac support). The page walks through turning off Apple's Secure Boot in Startup Security Utility and booting the USB stick, and lists known limits by model. "The installer detects Mac hardware and applies the needed fixes automatically: Broadcom Wi-Fi drivers and firmware, the SPI keyboard driver on the MacBook models that need it, and an NVMe suspend fix for those same models." On T2 models, "the installer automatically sets up the patched linux-t2 kernel, the T2 audio configuration, Apple's Broadcom Wi-Fi/Bluetooth firmware, and fan control via t2fanrd." The scripts: install/hardware/fix-bcm43xx.sh (broadcom-wl for BCM4360 and BCM4331), install/hardware/apple/fix-spi-keyboard.sh (keyboard modules in the initramfs, by model), install/hardware/apple/fix-suspend-nvme.sh and install/hardware/apple/fix-t2.sh, which notes that T2 Wi-Fi firmware "is only legally obtainable" from a macOS volume or recovery image. What Herald OS
What Omarchy does "Before you reboot, try restarting the offending subsystem on its own. Update > Hardware in the Omarchy menu has Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Audio, and Trackpad, and reloading one of those clears up the majority of 'it worked five minutes ago' situations - a Bluetooth headset that won't reconnect, a trackpad that went dead after a suspend, sound that vanished when you unplugged a monitor" (Troubleshooting; also Networking: When it stops working). The scripts are short: bin/omarchy-restart-wifi: rfkill unblock wifi, NetworkManager networking and radio on, rescan. bin/omarchy-restart-bluetooth: rfkill unblock bluetooth. bin/omarchy-restart-audio: restarts WirePlumber, PipeWire and its PulseAudio server, forcing stuck units down and recovering stuck USB audio devices. bin/omarchy-restart-trackpad: unbinds and rebinds the touchpad's i2c_hid_acpi driver (with administrator rights). What Herald OS has today Line numbers are from main at 8de81cb. Nothing on main restarts these: no
What Omarchy does Its Install menu covers some things Herald's catalog doesn't yet: Coding-agent CLIs: besides Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Copilot and Hermes, it pre-wires Google's Antigravity CLI (agy), Crush, Grok Build (grok), Pi, Oh My Pi, OpenRouter's Ori and Meta's Muse Code as launchers that install on first run (AI). AI desktop apps: the Claude desktop app (Anthropic's Linux beta), Perplexity and others under Install > AI (AI: Desktop apps). Development databases: MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB, MariaDB and SQL Server in containers bound to 127.0.0.1 (Development Tools: Docker; bin/omarchy-install-docker-dbs), and more languages: OCaml, Clojure, Scala, Symfony and Phoenix (Development Tools: Environment). Programming fonts in Nerd Font versions: Cascadia Mono, Meslo LG Mono, Fira Code, Victor Code, Bitstream Vera Mono and Iosevka (Fonts). Gaming: Battle.net under GE-Proton, Bluetooth Xbox controller support, and Sunshine to make the machine a game-streaming host, with its
What Omarchy does Try Omarchy for the Mac "packages a project-built ARM64 Arch Linux image configured with Omarchy Quattro, a QEMU runtime using Apple Hypervisor Framework, and a small Swift/AppKit launcher into one macOS app" (omacom/try-omarchy). It has accelerated graphics, a resizable window that follows the guest's resolution and HiDPI scale, Mac audio in and out, the Mac's camera, two-way clipboard for text and images, a shared folder, and the battery state in Omarchy's bar. Try Omarchy for Windows is a 10 MB signed TryOmarchy.exe that downloads and verifies a 2 GB guest image, turns on Windows Hypervisor Platform if needed, and runs Omarchy in a window with clipboard and folder sharing, plus backup, restore, reset and update (omacom/try-omarchy-windows). What Herald OS has today Line numbers are from main at 8de81cb. On an Apple Silicon Mac: install Homebrew, brew install qemu zstd, clone the repository and run bash linux/vm/try.sh (README.md lines 195-209). The script downlo
