Try Omarchy for Linux v0.3.0

v0.3.0 adds multiple displays, smoother input, sleep handling and a large set of fixes shared with Try Omarchy for Windows.

Features

• Open Omarchy on two or more displays, each fullscreen on its own monitor, with its own resolution and scale. Choose the display count and monitors in Settings. On Wayland, windowed displays open where your desktop places them (#58, #60)
• Smoother touchpad scrolling, including small movements and horizontal scrolling, following your desktop's natural scrolling setting (#50)
• Pause Omarchy when your computer sleeps and resume it on wake, with a manual resume and diagnostics if the pause can't be confirmed (#49, #57)
• Add USB device passthrough. Pick a device for the next start in Settings, or attach and release devices from the tray while Omarchy runs (#55)
• Show battery health, design capacity, charge cycles, maker and model inside Omarchy (#52)
• Detect the host keyboard layout on GNOME, KDE and other desktops when Settings follows the host layout, and say when it can't be detected (#53)
• Start Try Omarchy when you log in (#51)
• Follow your system language in the launcher where translations exist. Most Linux-only text is still English for now (#54)
• Boot your working Omarchy right away, download guest updates in the background, and apply them on the next start (#57)
• Offer recovery when Omarchy's desktop stops responding (#57)
• Bring night light into Omarchy, keep notifications private on the lock screen, and allow larger clipboard images such as 8K screenshots (#57)
• Remember when GPU rendering fails on a machine and start with CPU rendering until the drivers change (#51)
• Add a force stop when a shutdown hangs (#47)

Fixes

• Fix the chosen audio output being ignored when the microphone is off (#45)
• Keep the guest disk readable only by your account (#47)
• Prevent deleting a VM whose disk is still in use (#47)
• Fix setup skipping the location choice after approving a host app first (#47)
• Report QEMU crashes instead of treating them as a normal shutdown (#47)
• Honor the clipboard sharing setting on every desktop, not just GNOME (#48)
• Explain that SSH login needs a public key, and warn when none is chosen (#48)
• Fix the desktop never being marked ready when a custom Omarchy bar is in use (#46)
• Keep "Managed by the host computer" in the power menu after Omarchy updates (#46)
• Fix guest updates failing on a file conflict with night light (#57)
• Correct help text on setup space, host apps and which settings apply right away, and explain launching from Discover right after Flatpak is installed (#48, #59)

Dev

• Merge the Try Omarchy for Windows v0.10 launcher and guest fixes (#57)
• Refresh the guest package lock (#61)
• Run the display placement test in CI (#58)

New permissions: USB devices, sleep coordination with the system, reading the system keyboard layout, and reading KDE's keyboard settings file.

Install: https://tryomarchy.com/linux. Existing installs update through Software or flatpak update. The first start after updating uses your current Omarchy while the new one downloads, and the next start applies it.
