Try Omarchy Without Installing Linux

An unofficial Windows 11 app that runs the full Omarchy Linux desktop in a window.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-29 issue.

Field notes

The app packages a ready-made Omarchy image with QEMU and uses Windows 11's existing virtualization support rather than asking users to create partitions or configure a bootloader. First launch reportedly enables virtualization, restarts once, and downloads about 1.5 GB; the initial executable is 8 MB. The page says Windows apps continue to run normally and that later launches go straight to the desktop, while also directing users to a compatibility guide for current virtual-machine limits.
