OmarchyOS Agentic Linux

Omarchy released version 4.0.3 of its Linux distribution, which it markets as "the malleable OS for the age of agents," offering installation in as little as 35 seconds on the fastest machines and under two minutes on most computers. The distribution prompts users on first boot to configure a default AI agent that can examine crash dumps, diagnose failures, and help build apps, plugins, and themes, and it supports thousands of community plugins. Omarchy also ships with developer tooling including Neovim as the default editor plus VSCode, Cursor, Zed, Sublime Text, Helix, Vim, and Emacs, and runs on hardware as old as a 2011 ThinkPad X220 with 2GB of RAM.

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

Linux used to be a chore to setup, difficult to debug, and full of confusing upfront choices. Omarchy solves all of it with a lightning fast installation, agents that debug all issues, and fantastic defaults that give you a fully functioning system that looks amazing out of the box.

Oma is for omakase, chef's choice: we pick the tools and tune the details, so you can get straight to work. But this is your computer. You're free to change everything.

Behind it all is the Omarchy Doctrine: ten principles for uniting the nerds, welcoming the agents, and building the perfect computer. We're not there yet, but we can fix everything now.

Experience a transfer of enthusiasm.

Be up and running in as little as 35 seconds on the fastest machines, and in less than two minutes on the majority of computers.

Write the ISO to a USB stick and answer five questions. It hands back a finished desktop.

Under a minute from stick to desktop. Verify the file: SHA-256, signature. All of Omarchy running in a virtual machine, so you can get a taste first.

Apple Silicon Macs, Windows 10 and 11.On Linux, the ISO is the way in.

The manual also covers dual booting beside Windows and unattended installs. You don't need a new machine to try Omarchy. But if you get one, today's laptops are amazing.

Ready for something new? Laptops like the latest Dell XPS make amazing Omarchy machines, with our core team helping the newest hardware work properly.

Give that old Intel Mac a second life. Omarchy brings a fresh desktop to the hardware you already love.

Even a 2011 ThinkPad X220 with 2GB of RAM can run Omarchy, with room to spare. Your old PC might have plenty left to give.

Thousands of community plugins are available for Omarchy. Don't find what you need? Just put your agent on the job, then share when done.

Your agent should feel at home on your computer. Omarchy gives it the tools and skills to help you understand, fix, and shape the whole system.

On first boot, Omarchy invites you to set up a default agent. Pick your favorite, sign in, and put it to work on your computer.

When an app crashes, click the notification to send your agent on the case. It can examine the crash dump, diagnose what went wrong, and help report the bug.

Omarchy ships with skills to help your agent make apps, plugins, and themes. Describe what you want, try what it builds, and share it with everyone.

A theme restyles the whole system at once: terminal, bar, notifications, wallpaper. Pick one and this site wears it too. Or press T to flip through them.

The tools you know, set up to work together. Bring your projects, choose your favorites, and get straight to building.

Neovim is the default, with VSCode, Cursor, Zed, Sublime Text, Helix, Vim, and Emacs ready to install. Pick your favorite and make it the system-wide default.

Install Ruby on Rails, Laravel, Node.js, and a long list of other development environments from the Omarchy menu. Mise handles language versions, so each project can use what it needs.

Foot is the fast, lightweight default. Prefer Alacritty, Ghostty, or Kitty? All four are integrated, and switching your default keeps the same keyboard shortcuts working.

Also available: Herdr, Tmux, Docker, Lazygit, and the best shell tools.

Omarchy comes ready for Steam, RetroArch, and a whole world of gaming. Graphics drivers and configuration, including NVIDIA on supported hardware, are sorted during installation.

Your PC gaming library, right at home on Linux. Steam and Proton bring a huge world of modern games to Omarchy.

Revisit the classics with a full set of emulator cores and the beautiful CRT Royale shader, already configured for that retro look.

Build, explore, and make a world of your own. Install Minecraft straight from the Omarchy gaming menu and let your imagination run.

Also available: Battle.net, Lutris, Heroic, Moonlight, GeForce NOW, and Xbox Cloud Gaming.

Keep the Windows apps you need, right inside Omarchy. Our Windows 11 VM setup makes room for native Microsoft Office and the other programs you can't leave behind.

Choose Install > Windows from the Omarchy menu. Hardware virtualization brings near-native CPU performance for Office and everyday work, with a shared clipboard and a folder for moving files between Windows and Linux.

Bring a Windows 11 Pro license valid for a VM. Run omarchy windows key to retrieve your machine's original key (this only works on Pro, not Home licenses).

This setup has no GPU acceleration or passthrough. It's a great home for documents, spreadsheets, and Windows-only work apps, but isn't intended for gaming or demanding graphics work.

Donations, downloads, and contributions. Momentum is based on all of it.
