Omarchy and Hyprland compatibility

  • Some configurations have an NVIDIA dGPU (MX150). Omarchy installs the legacy 580 driver; the screen is driven by the integrated GPU
  • 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)

Good for (judged from specs)

  • Web & app development
  • Gaming (Steam / Proton)
