Here we go boys!!! Excited for trying out this beauty!! Any advices or recommendations for a rookie?

Hey everyone,

I'm currently on the Stable channel, but I'm considering switching to Edge.
I've previously used CachyOS, so I'm fairly comfortable with Arch, keeping things updated, troubleshooting issues, etc. Because of that, I'm wondering if Edge would be a good fit for me.

Should I switch to Edge, or would you still recommend staying on Stable?

Would love to hear from people actually running Edge. Thanks!

Features

• App Stacks (Folders) — Organize apps into folders with multi-column grids. Create folders by dragging one icon onto another. Customize folder icons with Nerd Font glyphs, edit titles inline, and scroll long names. Folders stay open when launching or switching apps.
• iOS-Style Edit Mode — Long-press an icon for 450 ms to enter edit mode. Reorder apps, toggle favorites, or dissolve folders.
• 1D & 2D Drag & Drop — Smoothly move apps across the dock and within folder grids. Drag apps out of folders back to the main dock.
• Multi-Instance Sliding Viewport — Scroll over running apps with multiple windows to switch between instances. The status capsule uses a 3-slot sliding viewport with a dash for the original instance and dots for duplicates.
• Real-Time Hyprland IPC Focus Sync — Dock state and highlights instantly sync with Hyprland window focus.
• Dedicated Controls — Left-click launches or focuses apps. Middle-click opens a new instance.
• Smart Cursor Hiding — Automatically hides the cursor during scrolling and folder title hover.
• Web App (PWA) Support — Automatically detects Chrome/Chromium web apps such as Google Maps, WhatsApp, YouTube, and Discord.
• Zero-Flicker Boot & Tile Lift — Reserves exclusive Hyprland space during initialization and fades in after all icons are loaded.
• Dynamic Auto-Positioning — Automatically positions the dock opposite the Omarchy status bar.
• Smart Auto-Hide — Optional auto-hide with a 1.5-second delay and instant reveal on hover.
• Status Bar Settings Widget — Native BarWidget controls for Dock Enable, Auto-hide, and Folder Titles.
• Native Theme Sync — Automatically follows Omarchy colors, system fonts, and window corner radius settings.
• Subpixel Vector Glyphs — GPU-accelerated vector glyph rendering without font hinting distortion or animation jitter.

Over 500 community built plugins in 3-days. I did not expect this. From small ideas, to outlandish thoughts, to: "oh, what does that one do"?

Show off to your friends and family. Tell them how much more advanced this opinionated distro is in comparison to what they're used to. Tell them what you like, don't like, hate, and wished changed. Challenge them to use Omarchy Quattro for a week or a month or a year. Post about it. Talk about it. Share your excitement. Share your pains. Do not be afraid to express yourselves. All feedback cannot be positive. Just don't complain; that's pointless. Instead, suggest solutions. I know AI is here and people can just churn out things in a prompt. But you're human. Unlike many creatures on this planet you're able to think -- so do so!

Do not be afraid to try similar plugins. You may like one over another. That is fine. That is the point. Visit the repository of a plugin you like and suggest improvements, report issues, or show your appreciation. However, please be safe. Have an agent help you assess the code base before installation. Just like the AUR, Omarchy cannot guarantee all plugins are safe, so please take precaution. It is your system, it is your decision, it is your responsibility to take care of your system and yourself.

But do have some fun and enjoy.

Wanted to put together a custom environment now that Quattro is out, went with an Across-the-Spider-Verse look and ended up building three pieces instead of just a color theme:

• A radial app launcher (search-driven, apps arranged in a web around a central hub)
• A restyled lock screen (RGB-split clock, animated web, grows-and-fades unlock transition)
• A matching color theme (indigo/violet base, magenta accent, glitch-split highlights)

Demo video attached. Mocked up the look in Claude Design first, then built it for real with Claude Code doing most of the QML/Hyprland-Lua legwork.

Theme (installable via omarchy theme install): https://github.com/axelfrache/omarchy-spiderverse-theme

Launcher + lock screen: https://github.com/axelfrache/omarchy-spiderverse

One-line install for all three is in the second repo's README if you want to try it. Feedback/issues welcome, first time messing with Quickshell!

Hey everyone!

This is my first proper rice project. I wanted the focused and cohesive feel of Omarchy, but I also wanted to use Niri and shape the desktop around my own workflow.

The result is nbShell, a custom desktop shell built with Quickshell specifically for Niri. It is heavily inspired by Omarchy’s visual language and workflows. I adapted some ideas and components from that ecosystem, while adding my own design, integrations and interaction patterns.

The interface follows a terminal-inspired style: monospace typography, compact layouts, thin borders and colors that communicate state instead of being purely decorative. I wanted everything to feel like one coherent system rather than a collection of unrelated utilities.

Some of the things currently included:

- Custom bar with freely arranged widgets

- Dashboard for calendar, weather, media and system information

- Launcher, notifications and clipboard history

- Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, audio and device controls

- Theme and wallpaper integration

- Tiling-oriented menus and keyboard workflows

- Zen Browser picture-in-picture controls

- AI-agent and usage integrations

- Custom lock-screen and screensaver experiments

- A lot of smaller tools tailored to my daily setup

Omarchy provided much of the original inspiration, but nbShell has gradually developed its own identity. Niri’s scrolling layout also pushed me toward different workspace and navigation ideas than I would have used with a traditional tiling compositor.

It is still a personal and evolving project, so there are rough edges and many things I want to improve. But it has reached the point where I use it daily, and I thought it would be fun to share it here.

I would really appreciate feedback—especially from other Niri users. What works visually, what feels too busy, and what would you change?

Built on Arch Linux with Niri and Quickshell, and AI ;)

I wanted cliamp in the Omarchy bar instead of a terminal I keep alt-tabbing to. That part is ordinary. The reason I built it is the last line of the panel.

Nothing else on the machine tells you that your 44.1 kHz track is being resampled to 48 before it reaches the speakers, which is what PipeWire does by default. The panel works it out, and only says bit-perfect when four things are true at once: the server sent the original file, the sink rate equals the stream rate read back from the sink rather than the rate that was asked for, gain is unity at both cliamp and its PipeWire stream, and every EQ band is zero.

Otherwise it names the thing in the way: 48 -> 44.1 kHz · cliamp resampled, EQ applied, output volume applied. Over Bluetooth it refuses to pretend and prints the codec instead, 44.1 kHz · SBC-XQ · lossy.

Also in there:

- album art, marquee title, cliamp's ten band analyzer, and the line being sung, offset by the output latency PipeWire reports so it matches what you hear rather than what has been decoded

- Navidrome browse and search in the panel, songs, albums and saved playlists in one list, reusing the salted token cliamp already publishes so no password is ever handled

- per-application output routing, and a volume slider that moves cliamp's PipeWire stream rather than the system volume

- optional rate following that retunes the graph to the track and releases it when playback stops

omarchy plugin add https://github.com/thisisgm/omarchy-cliampui --enable

omarchy bar put io.github.thisisgm.cliampui --section right

https://github.com/thisisgm/omarchy-cliampui, MIT, one dependency, cliamp itself.

No scrubbing on Navidrome tracks and no queue list. cliamp 1.63.2 can do neither, so the panel does not pretend otherwise.

No need to wait for the next Omarchy version to have the full Iron Man experience! Get setup with OSTT in less than a minute to control the computer with your voice. Speak it and it shall be, welcome to the future!

---

OSTT is a open source, terminal-native speech-to-text tool. Record from a hotkey, transcribe with local Whisper-compatible models or your chosen cloud provider, then send the result to your clipboard, a file, stdout, an AI prompt, or any shell command. Local transcription runs offline and supports GPU acceleration through Metal on macOS and CUDA or Vulkan on Linux.

OSTT is built for people who treat the terminal as a normal place for voice input to land. It does not assume one vendor, one subscription, or one app-specific workflow: use offline local models, bring your own API key for OpenAI, Deepgram, Groq, DeepInfra, AssemblyAI, Berget, ElevenLabs, or Mistral, and retry the same recording with another model when needed. Voice becomes text that can move through the same tools as everything else.

I recently installed Omarchy Quattro and really didn't enjoy the native VoxType OSD.

Then I thought, hey, it's Linux! I can make something that I want to use.

So here it is, just after thinking about it for a short while. Omarchy VoxType OSD HUD, a modern HUD that received inspiration from other voice dictation apps like SuperWhisper, WisprFlow, Handy, and others.

It follows any theme you change to and even has a UI for your transcription engine and meeting controls.

Check it out here!

Let me know what you think and if you have any feature requests!

I created a plugin that shows you the RAM and CPU usage in the top right corner. when clicked it opens btop.

easy install

omarchy plugin add https://github.com/<your-user>/analytics-omarchy.git --enable

Battery for each pod and the case, listening mode, adaptive noise level, Conversation Awareness, One-Bud ANC and ear detection, drawn in Omarchy's own panel idiom.

BlueZ does not expose AirPods battery on Linux, so this ships a daemon that speaks Apple's AAP protocol and publishes status to a file. The panel just watches that file, so an idle desktop runs nothing on its behalf.

omarchy plugin add https://github.com/thisisgm/omarchy-pods --enable
omarchy bar move io.github.thisisgm.omapods

The daemon needs a one-time build (cmake, ninja, Qt6). Steps are in the README.

Repo: https://github.com/thisisgm/omarchy-pods
Listing: https://omarchyplugins.com/plugin.html?id=io.github.thisisgm.omapods

The hard part is not mine: librepods by Kavish Devar reverse-engineered AAP over L2CAP and the BLE path that carries battery and in-ear state. The daemon here is a modified copy of his work (GPL-3.0); the widget is MIT.

Built and tested against AirPods Pro 3.
