What changed?

Omarchy 3.0 is a major upgrade for new installations and a wonderful level-up for existing users. The new ISO doesn't require internet at all, and you can install it in less than two minutes on the fastest systems.

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. There may still be issues and trade-offs, so only install this on hardware that you're okay experimenting with!

Existing installations can upgrade as per-normal using Update > Omarchy. New installations should download the fresh, all-inclusive ISO before beginning: https://iso.omarchy.org/omarchy-3.0.1.iso. This is a 7GB ISO that includes the entire system for offline installation (just 1/10th the size of macOS!).

Note: Ghostty compatibility requires Ghostty 1.2.0, which is still not released on the Arch repository. Please hold off on using that until it is (or install the 1GB+ dev version under ghostty-git from AUR). Hopefully @mitchellh will get it out soon!

Fixing black-screen-of-death installs

If you installed Omarchy via the ISO between 2025-08-26 22:15 UTC and 2025-08-27 12:50 UTC, you'll likely have hit the black-screen-of-death after installation. You can fix it with these steps:

  1. CTRL + ALT + F2
  2. Login with your credentials
  3. curl -fsSL https://omarchy.org/patch/pin-abseil-cpp | bash

This will restore the working version of abseil-cpp and restart your system. Now you're back in business!
