Try Omarchy is an open-source macOS application that runs the Omarchy Linux environment inside a virtual machine on Apple Silicon Macs. It uses Apple's Hypervisor framework and GPU acceleration to deliver a responsive Linux desktop without replacing macOS. The application downloads an official ARM64 Omarchy image and launches it through a simple desktop interface. Users can operate Omarchy in full-screen or windowed mode with Retina display scaling and native keyboard mappings. Integration with macOS includes bidirectional clipboard sharing, audio devices, cameras, battery information, and shared folders. Touch ID authentication supports administrative commands and compatible password managers. Networking options include SSH, port forwarding, and experimental USB passthrough. System updates create snapshots that allow users to roll back changes when necessary.
