The hype is real @OmarchyLinux @OmarchyMac year of linux.

[Joshua Warren @JoshuaSWarren]

Day 3 implementing the Apple Neural Engine under @OmarchyLinux/@OmarchyMac :

791 ms vs 1,975 ms for the same Qwen3.8-2B output head on an M1 MacBook Pro. 2.50x faster than CPU.

Fresh macOS 26 graphs now run on Linux. A real 64-channel graph matches exactly. Full production parity is next.

24 hours in with @OmarchyMac 🏎️

Personalized OS with community and personal plugins:
- Customized Clipbasket by @rameerez for AI search among images and text.
- Customized a crypto price watcher.
- Built @nym VPN plugin: https://t.co/voQerosQM0
- (in progress): Continuity Keyboard for iOS users
- (in progress): Screen Time Plugin

All this and more running within 10GB of RAM where as macOS was consuming more than 15GB easy.

The only thing I miss is ability to develop native iOS and macOS application. If someone knows its workaround let me know.

[Joshua Warren @JoshuaSWarren]

Asahi's anti-AI stance held Linux on the Mac back.

Omarchy Mac + lots of tokens and I'm deep into unlocking the Apple Neural Engine under Linux, which never moved beyond a basic demo.

This work feeds back to doing more with ANE under MLX on macOS, too.

[Scott Jones @bi9kahuna]

Now down under 2 minutes for a full desktop install and with encryption?!!! Ripped off a lot of ideas from the upstream speed improvements! Next up will be an end to end install.

@JoshuaSWarren Wonderful things to come out of this, rooting for you :)

@haripako @OmarchyMac Success on a M2!

[Omarchy Mac @OmarchyMac]

@megabyte0x @nym How does this work?

[Scott Jones @bi9kahuna]

I've now got a minimal install going into an empty space on my Mac (can reinstall next to my existing Omarchy Mac install and set up an additional grub entry). Encryption coming next then a full install, then hopefully a complete end to end install starting from MacOS.

What happened?

During a short window in the v4.0 development cycle, the migration (introduced by @SFreiburg ) that removes the Asahi Alarm bootstrap account (named ‘alarm’) from the wheel group was missing.

On affected installations, alarm could remain an administrator even after the system had been handed over to the actual user. This could cause polkit authentication to select the alarm account instead of the system owner.

v4.0.1-1 adds a safe migration to clean this up on affected systems.

It also fixes our Mac package release handling so Mac-specific hotfixes can be shipped as package rebuilds without conflicting with upstream Omarchy versions.

[Omarchy Mac @OmarchyMac]
