DHH's Arch-based desktop environment Omarchy released its 4.5 feature update, merging 740+ pull requests from 180+ contributors in twelve weeks.
- Floating desktop mode: Super+L cycles workspaces between tiling, scrolling, and floating layouts; floating workspaces get themed titlebars and a dock, easing the transition for macOS/Windows users not ready for pure tiling.
- Native Apple Silicon install: A macOS installer app puts Omarchy alongside macOS on M1/M2/M3/Neo MacBooks—no USB stick or terminal needed—via Homebrew too (brew install omacom/mac/omarchy). M4/M5/M6 support is in progress.
- More: 50 languages, 7-second installs, ARM support for NVIDIA DGX Spark and N1X (Snapdragon coming), plus numerous fixes.
