Omarchy for Fydetab Duo — v0.1.5 (first Omarchy release)

This is the first release of an Omarchy (4.0.0) image
for the Fydetab Duo: DHH's Hyprland-based Arch experience, running natively
on aarch64. It is built from the same pipeline as the GNOME images, on Arch
Linux ARM with the linux-fydetab 6.12.43 kernel.

Release summary

  • Omarchy 4.0.0 desktop: Hyprland 0.56 + the Quickshell-based Omarchy
    shell, SDDM autologin straight into the session. Display, HiDPI scaling
    (2x) and touchscreen mapping are configured for the portrait DSI panel.
  • Board support: Wi-Fi/Bluetooth (AP6275P), Mali G610 GPU (panthor +
    Mesa/panfrost, Vulkan included), deep suspend/resume with lock-on-suspend,
    audio, sensors, auto-rotation groundwork.
  • Kernel 6.12.43-18 fixes two long-standing platform defects: nftables
    support (the firewall below needs it) and broken kernel module autoloading
    inherited from the vendor's ChromeOS configuration — this affected every
    previously released image.

Default credentials — change them on first boot: user omarchy,
password omarchy (root uses the same password), passwordless sudo and
autologin are enabled. Run passwd and sudo passwd root after first boot.

Installation

  1. Download ArchLinux-ARM-Fydetab-Duo-Omarchy-uboot-2026-08-18.img.xz
    from this release and verify it:

    sha256sum ArchLinux-ARM-Fydetab-Duo-Omarchy-uboot-2026-08-18.img.xz
# 3fe5af94a02e8f94beb51b7d2b3e4bf006bab7daac2986e89ff19c5febc486c2

  2. Decompress:

    unxz ArchLinux-ARM-Fydetab-Duo-Omarchy-uboot-2026-08-18.img.xz

  3. Put the tablet into Loader mode, connect it over USB and flash with
    rkdeveloptool (loader binary and details in the guide linked below):

    sudo rkdeveloptool ld
sudo rkdeveloptool db rk3588_spl_loader_v1.09.111.bin
sudo rkdeveloptool wl 0 ArchLinux-ARM-Fydetab-Duo-Omarchy-uboot-2026-08-18.img
sudo rkdeveloptool rd

    The full walkthrough (entering Loader mode, the loader download,
    Windows RKDevTool alternative, troubleshooting) is the same as for the
    GNOME image — follow the Fydetab Duo Arch install guide and substitute this image file.

  4. First boot resizes the root filesystem to fill the eMMC and logs into
    Omarchy automatically. The first login provisions the user environment
    (needs network for the runtime/tooling steps; it retries on later logins
    if offline).

Known issues and feature gaps

Security posture:

  • No disk encryption. Official Omarchy is LUKS-encrypted by default;
    this image is not, while keeping the same autologin. Treat the device as
    unlocked storage and change the default passwords immediately.

Compared with official (x86) Omarchy:

  • No snapshots / rollback / factory reset / hibernation — these depend
    on the btrfs + snapper + Limine stack; this image boots U-Boot into ext4.
    omarchy-update works normally but proceeds without a pre-update
    snapshot.
  • Some menu installs cannot work on ARM: 1Password, Spotify, Dropbox,
    Cursor, LM Studio, Minecraft, Heroic/Lutris (and other x86-only apps)
    have no aarch64 upstream. The Install > Preinstalls entry currently
    fails for the same reason (bundles Pinta/Obsidian/OBS).
  • Some menu installs are not packaged yet (planned): VS Code, Sublime
    Text, Zed, Codex desktop, NordVPN, RetroArch extra cores, Xbox-controller
    driver, the Dev update channel.
  • Boot is text-mode (no Plymouth splash yet).
