Feels very different to Windows and macOS but once you’ve mastered a few shortcuts familiar in some ways too. I’m used to (work)spaces on macOS and love how these work although still try to swipe up with the trackpad to switch between them - perhaps I can find a way to replicate that? Love that AI does feel more integrated although that might just be it encourages more use of the terminal? Happy I wiped the latest Ubuntu 26.04 it was running previously. Was this review helpful?

I love how the themes are integrated with all of the applications. It's an absolutely beautiful distribution. very easy to configure, especially if you have an LLM helping you out. Since version four, all of my complaints about usability are gone. Excellent work. Installation is easy and very fast. Installing PWAs is smooth. Voice to text is easy to set up. I'm super excited about copying text from a screenshot with OCR, which is hooked up to a keyboard binding (easier to use than on Mac OS, last time I checked). An absolute pleasure to use day to day.

Even better on Linux friendly hardware of course. With the addition of T2 Linux 7.1, all of my nagging hardware glitches on Mac melted away. I can close the laptop, enter suspend, open it, and be back to work in an instant. If that doesn’t impress you, you haven’t tried running Linux on a MacBook before. Final word on the Omarchy MacBook is Linux looks and feels at home on this laptop. Premium modern experience on older premium hardware. This arch spin is a developer’s dream. Optimized for productivity out of the box. Intuitive enough that my kids figured out how to use my dev rig for gaming when I’m not working. I look forward to every update, which I haven’t gotten to say about any software for a long time. Omarchy 4 is a huge step up in polish from previous releases. The little affordances like audio, monitors, battery level, etc… all look unified like they belong together. Was this review helpful? Yes No See all 46 reader reviews of Omarchy...
