Joshua Warren said he plugged an AMD Radeon RX 7600 into a MacBook Pro over Thunderbolt, and that on Omarchy the driver loaded, Vulkan came up, and llama.cpp ran "Qwen2.5-7B" on the card.
Sign-in button opens ping.omacom.io
Pull request 16186, merged into quattro, points the network check at ping.omacom.io and opens that address from the sign-in button. Major browsers had been forcing the old Arch address onto a secure page, so a sign-in page could not open.
Tailscale panel keeps only the rows on screen
Pull request 7623, merged into quattro, keeps only the visible rows in the Tailscale machine list. iskakaushik wrote that a tailnet of about 3,900 machines had been making the shell unusable.
China replicas come first on installs in China
Pull request 16256, merged into quattro, puts Omarchy's China replicas first on installs in China and keeps the .org servers as the fallback. An install without a region marker is unchanged, and ARM platforms keep their own templates until a profile carries ARM mirrors.
Menu rows survive a file read mid-write
Pull request 16268, merged into quattro, keeps the menu's rows when a read is not a whole menu. A half-written file had been replacing every row, and the menu could stay empty until the shell restarted.
Keybinding scan ends a loop over monitors
Pull request 7564 and pull request 16276, merged into quattro, end a loop over monitors in the keybinding menu's Lua scan. Indexes 1 and 0 answer with the stub, and every other number with nil.
Taildrop cards carry a title and a short path

Fcitx service does not start without the program
Pull request 11694, merged into quattro, keeps the fcitx5 user service from starting when the program is absent. therk wrote that one aarch64 image had restarted it 20943 times, with 105828 journal lines.
Clock fallback lists ntp.omarchy.org
Pull request 16247, merged into quattro, sets the clock's fallback to ntp.omarchy.org and then time.cloudflare.com. The Omarchy name is a CNAME to 2.arch.pool.ntp.org, the Arch pool the machines use now.
Weather lookup starts at geo.omarchy.org
Pull request 16240, merged into quattro, asks geo.omarchy.org for a place when no weather location is stored, and the setup form takes its timezone guess from that answer. A stored location still wins, and a timezone preset by the install media still wins.
Apple Silicon package file omits the AUR line
Pull request 16189, merged into quattro, takes the AUR repository out of the Apple Silicon pacman template. A Mac that is already installed keeps the line until omarchy-refresh-pacman or omarchy-channel-set rewrites the file.
