Updating to 2.0
Existing installations can upgrade by running Update > Omarchy from the Omarchy Menu (or omarchy-menu if they're still on a version predating that). Everything will be brought up to the latest EXCEPT the switch to limine bootloader and snapper snapshot restoring. That is currently only available to new installations, but we will release instructions on how to make that transition manually soon.
New ISO installations
New installations should use the new online ISO installer: https://iso.omarchy.org/omarchy-online.iso
New Chrome theme matching
Our Omarchy Chromium micro-fork now matches colors on theme changes:
New Starship prompt
"Borrowed" from @tobi
New Omarchy icon
Designed by @tahayvr
New Emoji Picker
In addition to the XCompose quick emojis, you can now search the entire range of emojis with Ctrl + Super + E, and copy to clipboard:
New QR code to join Discord if installer breaks
New DNS selector
