A quiet week where the community did all the heavy lifting and @DHH just kept the lights on.

omarchy's suspend path is collecting edge cases like Pokémon cards

Hybrid GPUs, hibernate resume, and hyprlock all found new ways to require a hard reboot this week.

The open issues tell a story: NVIDIA hybrid setups kernel panic on lid close with s2idle, hibernate broke after 3.5.0, and hyprlock can hard-freeze the entire system on suspend with no recovery path. Three different sleep-adjacent bugs, three different subsystems, zero workarounds that don't involve the power button. The common thread is power state transitions — omarchy's compositor stack works fine until you try to put it to sleep, at which point your particular hardware combination becomes a game of Russian roulette. Community members are still bisecting.

the AC adapter udev rules were failing silently — nobody noticed until boot

A community fix for power detection that was broken from the start.

Turns out omarchy's udev rules for AC power detection were silently failing at boot, which is exactly the kind of bug you don't notice until your laptop dies because it thought it was plugged in. @annoyedmilk's #5275 is open with a fix. The rules were syntactically valid but operationally useless — systemd was loading them, they just weren't matching anything. Classic 'works on my machine because I never unplug' territory.

waybar's clock format gets a keyboard toggle — finally

Because reaching for the mouse to check if it's 14:30 or 2:30 PM was too much friction.

The waybar clock in omarchy has always shown either 12-hour or 24-hour time, but switching between them meant editing config files like some kind of animal. @Wessel-Boers's #5271 adds a keybind to toggle the format on the fly. Small quality-of-life win for anyone who occasionally needs to translate times for colleagues in different locales. Still pending review, but the implementation is straightforward — it just toggles a format string.

Little Snitch for Linux wants a spot in the install menu

Network monitoring joins the opinionated software stack — if @DHH approves.

@marcelzimmer's #5270 proposes adding OpenSnitch (the Linux equivalent of Little Snitch) to the Install > Service menu. It's the kind of addition that fits omarchy's 'beautiful and opinionated' philosophy — default-deny outbound firewall rules are genuinely useful for catching rogue telemetry. Whether it belongs in the default installer or stays a user choice is the review conversation happening now.

COMMUNITY

two commits to the marketing site — content tweaks, not code

The omarchy-site repo saw minor activity, likely copy updates.

Two commits landed in omarchy-site this week with no associated PRs or releases. Given the repo's purpose — it's the public-facing site for omarchy — this is almost certainly copy updates or asset changes rather than anything architectural. The kind of work that doesn't merit its own article but tells you someone's still paying attention to the front door.
