Chris runs Omarchy Quattro on a 2010 MacBook Air (2 cores, 4 GB RAM): desktop shot shows omarchy.org and btop; light browsing and coding stay usable while video or music pegs the CPU.
eddieor posts an article, "My 2011 MacBook was e-waste. Now it runs Omarchy and my kids' favorite game." The MacBook spent years in a drawer, macOS stopped supporting it ages ago, and it was "basically e-waste with a nice keyboard." They say the install took less than 5 minutes and the first boot felt snappy ("Boot time: < 1 minute :) nothing to tweak :)"). When their kids wanted to play something on "the old computer", they built "a small native game using claude called "tinkerlings" made just for them on Omarchy." The article closes "Old hardware isn't dead. Usually it's just running the wrong software."; the still is a "tinkerlings" game screen with "Adventures", "Sticker book", and "Dress up" buttons above "Feed Momo" and "Momo is hungry! Build a slide for three apples, then press Go.", with "A little hint" and "Listen" buttons, over a painted meadow of flowers with apples on a wooden slide and a door in a tree trunk.
zegwadekh says "this omarchy stuff is fun to say the least! this revived laptop from ~2012 never felt so fast! thanks nvidia for free tokens."; the still is a "Battery" panel headed "THRESHOLD" and "0%", with "Battery size" "12Wh", "Health" "27%", "Charge cycles" "0", "Battery state" "Holding", and "Charger" "Online (Mains)" rows and "Power-saver", "Balanced", and "Performance" buttons, over a Hermes agent reply signing off "Hail Omarchy!" with a "nemotron-3-ultra-550b-a..." model label cut off.
Lokeshd0tz has been playing with Omarchy for a while and says "honestly, it just works." They say people hate on it "'cause it’s easier than a traditional Arch install", where everything is configured by hand and sanity is lost over Wi-Fi, and they are using it as their primary dev machine and loving it; the still is a desktop wallpaper of a girl in a dark hoodie leaning on a white-and-black hatchback with "藤原とうふ店" on the door under a pink-and-blue sky, with a traffic cone at left, below a top bar.
