Omarchy 4.0, the Arch Linux distribution by David Heinemeier Hansson, is out as its biggest release, with the desktop shell now built on Quickshell.
For engineers using or customizing Omarchy, the switch to Quickshell changes how the desktop shell is configured and extended. This release is the largest to date, so it likely brings broader changes beyond the shell. Those who rely on the previous shell implementation will need to adapt to Quickshell's model.
