No VM setup or configuration. Download TryOmarchy.exe, follow the prompts, and you'll be booted into a full Omarchy desktop within minutes. No dual booting or repartitioning required.

Under the hood it uses QEMU + WHPX, with GPU acceleration where supported.

I’m not sure why I would want to when I could just run Arch. The founder of the “distro” is a white supremacist that believes in “the great replacement” theory.

Although I’m all in support of those kinds of people running random .exe files on their PC.

Supporting that argument as long as I have a voice.

Something which I had to go hunt, but that may be about what Omarchy wants to prioritise describing itself:

you don't HAVE to run an AI agent. They're a lazy install option and it includes none. So you could say

"run a lightweight desktop linux distro in Qemu simply with this .exe"
