Run the Omarchy Linux desktop in a Windows window without a dual boot
Emerged finds new products worth a look, daily — what’s new today
You can try Omarchy properly — accelerated, with clipboard, camera and shared folders — without wiping a machine or assembling a VM by hand.
Try Omarchy packages an ARM64 Arch Linux image, QEMU and a Swift launcher into one signed macOS application, so Omarchy runs hardware-accelerated through Apple's Hypervisor framework in a resizable HiDPI window. The integration goes past a plain VM: shared clipboard including PNGs, Mac camera and audio in and out, a shared folder, port forwarding, SSH, Touch ID for sudo, and nested KVM on M3 and later. Download the .dmg, drag it to Applications, and the first boot provisions the environment. MIT licensed and free. Needs macOS 15 or newer and 8 GB free.
