Everything will be brought up to the latest EXCEPT the switch to limine bootloader and snapper snapshot restoring. That is currently only available to new installations, but we will release instructions on how to make that transition manually soon.

New ISO installations

New installations should use the new online ISO installer: https://iso.omarchy.org/omarchy-online.iso

New Chrome theme matching

Our Omarchy Chromium micro-fork now matches colors on theme changes:

New Starship prompt

Updating

This release includes a revamp of the PATH and how Omarchy finds its bins. It's very important that when you are asked to relaunch Hyprland, that you do so, and then run Omarchy > Update (or omarchy-update) again afterwards. That'll ensure everything is migrated correctly.

Otherwise you can just update by clicking the update-available icon next to the clock (if you see that), by running Update > Omarchy from the Omarchy Menu, or by omarchy-update on the cli.

v1.11.0

What changed?

• Add new unified Omarchy menu system by @dhh

• Fix picture-in-picture window positioning by @ElFitaFlores + @dhh
• Fix hypridle screensaver starting after actually 2.5 minutes by @rmacklin

Update using omarchy-update. From this version forward, you can update via the Omarchy menu.

The old omarchy TUI has been replaced by omarchy-menu. You can start it using Super + Alt + Space or from the new icon in the upper left corner.

Note: The ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf has been divided into several dedicated files. The update process will ask you to confirm that you want the new layout (which enables some direct editing via the new menu system). If you say yes, you'll be reset to Omarchy defaults, but your own settings will still be in ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf/bak.$timestamp, and you can just copy them to the right place.

New unified Omarchy menu system

The old Omarchy TUI has been retired, a ton of the commands have been reworked, and we now have a single way to control just about everything about the system. See this introduction video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cft6mZDzIng
