I Made a Thing Getting Help with Omarchy - a comprehensive guide

7 Upvotes

Edited to add preface: I am not a mod for this subreddit, the discord, I am not affiliated with Omacom or on any Omarchy dev teams. I have absolutely zero authority, so this is just a guide of SUGGESTIONS that will enable you to get help much faster, and will provide devs with the information they need to replicate, study, triage, and ultimately fix the bugs you may encounter... Omarchy is growing FAST and with that kind of growth comes a lot of users with drastically different hardware and software configurations. Bugs are going to happen, and new users are going to have questions. This document is meant to help with that, but it is by no means a set of rules or requirements. Just a guide for you to get the help you need when you need it.

Getting Help with Omarchy is a guide I've been putting together over the last couple weeks. I used to do a lot of beta testing for World of Warcraft and back when the beta tests were by invitation, then a second round of random invites went out, I was always in the first round of invites because of my bug reports and guides that I would write on how to submit a good bug report. I mentioned that on the Omarchy discord and someone informed me there isn't any such document for Omarchy presently so I decided to write one.

It covers not just how to ask for help and what information you should include, but also where to ask for help. If it's a minor issue that you're not sure is a bug, or a "how do I?" question, then the omarchy-help channel on discord is an excellent starting point. If it's a serious bug, then GitHub issues/discussions would be the optimal place to bring it up. The guide also covers how to gather logs, system specs, software versions, etc for adding to your bug report, best practices and even etiquette (you know, because saying please and thank you don't cost you anything, but could be worth quite a lot)

If anyone has any suggestions for additions to the guide, feel free to comment them here! And if you want to use the guide elsewhere, just credit me and we're golden pony boy.

Announcement Moderator Update: Growth, New Mods, and a Community Discussion

42 Upvotes

Hello r/Omarchy.

First, a welcome to all the new members who have joined recently. Since the release of Quattro in August, we've seen a lot of growth and a lot more interest in the Omarchy project.

In the last 30 days we've had 1.5 million views, up from around 400k the month before. 9,900 people joined, bringing us to 30.3k members. Posts are up more than 3x and comments up more than 4x over the previous 30 days. August tripled July's traffic and beat the sub's previous all-time monthly record by about 45%, and September is tracking higher than August. The mod team can't take any credit for this. That belongs to the Omarchy team and the Quattro release. Applause to them.

To keep up all this, we've expanded the moderation team. Welcome u/6pthsofPain and u/nevotheless. Both are long-time Omarchy users who have stepped up to help keep the sub running.

u/6pthsofPain built A La Carchy (200+ stars on GitHub) and is currently working on a tool for Quattro.

u/nevotheless has been on Linux for 15-20 years, came over from a corporate/Red Hat background, and runs Omarchy as their daily driver.

With the recent growth, there are a few things we need to discuss as a community.

AI-Generated Content & Plugins

We've seen a substantial influx of AI-generated content lately, particularly when it comes to plugins. To be clear, we are not anti-AI here.

Objectively speaking though, some of these projects are lacking in quality, and more importantly, some come with genuine security concerns. We want this sub to be a reliable place to showcase Omarchy projects, so we want your input on how to handle this going forward.

Some options the mod team has discussed:

  • Specific Showcase Days: Containing all plugin posts to a specific day (e.g., Plugin Showcase Sunday).
  • Let the Upvotes Decide: Leave it as is and let the community moderate via upvotes and downvotes.
  • A Plugin Megathread: Funneling all new plugin drops into a single, stickied weekly/monthly thread.
  • A Validation System: Something a bit more complex, where only plugins that have been validated for safety/quality are allowed to be posted (exact details would need to be ironed out).

Regardless of what we land on, we'll be adding a Plugin flair so these posts can be filtered and found more easily.

Drop your thoughts, suggestions, and feedback in the comments. We'll compile a list of the most popular ideas and put them to a community poll if that makes sense.

The new Epic Games Launcher is finally here in Preview

Programming is hard. So, instead of doing that, we vibe coded a new Epic Games Launcher that’s way faster and more responsive than the current one, and has a new look.

I Made a Thing Built a Pokémon TCG Live launcher for Omarchy in my spare time — would love some testing

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

6 Upvotes

Hey folks, sharing a little project I’ve been working on: Omarchy PTCGL, an open-source installer and launcher for Pokémon TCG Live.

https://github.com/hucKOder/omarchy-ptcgl

I wanted to open the game from the app menu and have it behave like a normal window on my desktop. That turned into a small Go launcher using UMU + GE-Proton + XWayland, with the Omarchy integration handled for you.

A few things it does:

- Installs the official Windows game into its own Wine prefix with a pinned Proton build.

- Opens tiled, with resizing, workspace movement, and Super + F fullscreen.

- Routes browser sign-in back to the running game.

- Focuses the existing game when you launch it again.

- Provides update, repair, and diagnostic commands, plus desktop-menu actions.

And yes, it’s blazingly fast™. Had to get that in there. But genuinely, performance has been excellent on my machine—I think it feels even smoother than it did on Windows.

I’ve tested it on my AMD setup and played multiple online matches successfully. Now I’d love to see how it behaves on other people’s machines.

If you’re on Omarchy and play PTCGL, please give it a try! NVIDIA and Intel testing would be especially helpful, along with feedback on fresh installation, browser login, updates, and window behavior. It currently targets x86-64 Omarchy with the Lua-based Hyprland configuration.

Drop a comment or open an issue with your GPU, Omarchy/Hyprland versions, and your experience.

This is a spare-time community project, and I’ll keep maintaining it and keeping up with PTCGL and Omarchy changes. I also plan to contact the PTCGL team to ask about official support for this repository as a community-maintained Linux option and a way to coordinate compatibility fixes.

Would be nice to find a few more people in the overlap between Omarchy users and Pokémon card players :)

Plugin Read Aloud: local text to speech in the Omarchy bar (Kokoro, offline)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

4 Upvotes

I have dyslexia, so long text costs me energy. I built a bar plugin that reads any copied text aloud with a local AI voice.

Copy text, press a key, and it reads it out. Press again to stop.

- Runs fully offline after setup (Kokoro 82M)

- 54 voices, 9 languages, speed control in the panel

- First click installs the engine, with a progress bar in the panel

- Nothing leaves your machine

Store approval is pending, for now install from GitHub:

omarchy plugin add https://github.com/remigius-labs/omarchy-read-aloud --enable

Feedback welcome!

I Made a Thing Omarchy-Mac Is Running on the M4 MacBook Air 15-inch

Post image
• Upvotes

Sorry to everyone who reacted to my earlier post!

I realized I’d gotten the title wrong, so I deleted it and reposted the corrected version.

Based on StudioXRadio’s work, I tried installing Omarchy-Mac on a M4 MacBook Air 15-inch — and it works.

A lot is already functional, including the GUI, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi.

Audio still needs some tuning, but getting Omarchy-Mac running on the 15-inch model is a big step forward.

I Made a Thing gitmoire 0.10: Linear issues to worktrees, and it still follows your Omarchy theme

Post image
5 Upvotes

Hey all, I build gitmoire, a desktop Git client that syncs with your Omarchy theme. It reads the current theme's colours and follows when you switch, so it fits the rest of your setup.

New in 0.10: connect Linear with an API key and your assigned issues sit in the sidebar. One click gives you a worktree on its own branch, and if you run agent CLIs in the built-in terminal, the prompt is already filled in from the issue.

Also new: repo groups with jump shortcuts, an ignore-whitespace toggle in diffs, and Markdown preview.

Full disclosure, I'm the author. It's free, no account, no telemetry, source isn't public. On Arch the AppImage is the easy route.

If you try it on Omarchy, tell me which themes look off.

I Made a Thing I made Recall for Omarchy: local semantic search for your files, with a CLI

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

9 Upvotes

You search your files by what's in them: describe a photo, find a passage in a document, jump to the right moment in a recording, or find code by what it does. Super+Ctrl+Shift+F opens the search panel, and Enter opens the file at the matching page, line or moment.

It also has a recall CLI that outputs JSON, plus a bundled agent skill, so Claude Code and other coding agents can search your files too.

Everything runs locally with EmbeddingGemma. File content, OCR text and embeddings stay on your machine. The only network access is the install and a one-time ~865 MB model download from Hugging Face, which starts after you pick folders to index. Only the folders you choose are indexed.

curl -fsSL https://ferdousbhai.com/recall/install.sh | bash

Releases are signed with Sigstore. Works on x86_64 and aarch64, including Asahi.

Repo: https://github.com/ferdousbhai/recall-for-omarchy

I'd love feedback, especially on search quality and how it runs on your hardware.

I Made a Thing trilium-tui: Trilium notes in the terminal (works great on Omarchy)

5 Upvotes

Trilium Next is the one self-hosted app I use daily, but I love the terminal, so I wrote trilium-tui in Rust.

I run this on Omarchy. The installer adds a launcher entry and prints an optional Hyprland keybinding; it never edits your config.

Instant (local replica), formatted editing in place, inline pictures in foot and kitty, Shift+E opens the note source in your `$EDITOR`.

I Made a Thing I made Sokobanchy, a Sokoban game for Omarchy

Post image
4 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I built Sokobanchy, a native Rust/egui puzzle game made to feel at home on Omarchy, and it’s now available in the plugin marketplace.

It’s classic Sokoban with a small twist: you control a little AI agent, pushing code libraries into place to form Omarchy logos.

Some features:

  • 35 original puzzles across seven chapters, plus eight community collections.
  • Follows your Omarchy theme live, including light themes.
  • Arrow keys, WASD, and keyboard controls.
  • Undo/redo, saved progress, and personal best scores.
  • Import your own Sokoban puzzle collections.

Find Sokobanchy in the marketplace, or install it with:

sh omarchy plugin add https://github.com/renanmt/sokobanchy --enable

Then launch it from the application launcher. No Rust installation or build step needed.

Source code and screenshots

I’d love to hear how it feels to play, especially the difficulty progression. Feedback and bug reports are welcome!

Discussion State of Elgato Tools?

9 Upvotes

Hi. Curious what the current state of Elgato tools are in Omarchy. Specifically:

  • Wave Link (Software)
    • Highest priority for me
  • Stream Deck (Software)
  • Facecam (Software / Hardware)
  • Capture Card (Software / Hardware)

My audio workflow is a big reason I haven't switched. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
