Omarchy: Beautiful, fun & opinionated Linux by DHH.

The malleable OS for the age of agents.Vibe your way through every alteration, tweak, and desire.

We can fix everything.

Linux on the desktop has always asked for a weekend before it gave anything back: a window manager to pick, a terminal to theme, a hundred small decisions between you and a machine you like using. Omarchy answers those decisions with taste, and then leaves every one of them open.

The name says as much. Oma is for omakase, chef's choice: the chef picks the courses, and you are still free to send anything back.

When you can vibe code whatever app comes to your mind, you should be able to vibe code your operating system.

    Opinionated from the first boot

    Arch Linux and Hyprland, configured the way a craftsman would set up their own machine. Tiling windows, beautiful terminals, and sane defaults. No weekend of ricing required.

  2. 02

    Malleable for the age of agents

    Omarchy ships skills that teach any coding agent how the system is put together, so you can ask for a change in your own words and the agent edits the real thing. They are plain files, so they work with whichever harness you already run.

  3. 03

    No second tier

    The shell you change is the shell Omarchy is built from. There is no private layer the maintainers get and you do not, so your version of the panel is as real as the one that shipped.

  4. 04

    Crashes file their own reports

    When an app dies you get an offer to diagnose it. The agent reads the crash, works out whether Omarchy is at fault, and prepares the bug report for you to send.

  5. 05

    Everything is a plugin

    Bars, widgets, overlays, services: a change worth keeping becomes a plugin, and a plugin worth sharing lands in the marketplace. Three days after Quattro shipped there were 330 of them.

See it in action

The introduction from DHH, and what the Linux YouTube circuit made of it.

Install Omarchy

Omarchy installs as a complete operating system. Both routes below land in the same place: a full, encrypted desktop in under a minute.

Start from scratch

Write the ISO to any USB stick and answer five questions. It takes the whole drive and hands back a finished, encrypted desktop in under a minute, with nothing to know about Linux beforehand.

Download Omarchy 4.0.2

5.8 GB, for 64-bit PCs.

Already running Arch?

Keep the system you have and let the installer lay Omarchy over it. One command, then a reboot.

curl -fsSL https://omarchy.org/install | bash

The same script the ISO uses. Read it first, the way you would with any other.

The manual also covers dual booting beside Windows and unattended installs.

A marketplace built into the OS

2,064 community plugins for the Quattro shell: bars, widgets, overlays, and services, each one a single command away.
