Omarchy and Hyprland compatibility

  • Lenovo sold it with Linux preinstalled (Fedora Linux / Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.4 (certified only) / Ubuntu Linux LTS / Ubuntu Linux with Data Science Preload)
  • Some configurations have an NVIDIA dGPU (RTX 3080 / RTX A5000 / RTX A2000). Omarchy installs nvidia-open and has a hybrid GPU switch; the Hyprland wiki lists monitors on the NVIDIA GPU and suspend/resume as known issues
  • Face login (IR camera) is not part of Omarchy’s setup (fingerprint and FIDO2 keys are)
  • Fingerprint reader: Omarchy’s menu sets it up for sudo and the lock screen (if libfprint supports the sensor)
  • Wi-Fi chip: Intel (varies by configuration)
