FAQ
Short answers.
What is Omarchy?
DHH’s omakase Linux: Hyprland, Quickshell. Keyboard-first, one theme, agents in the menu. Free at omarchy.org. We install that official ISO on a name-brand laptop.
How do you pronounce Omarchy?
OMACHEE. The R is silent. Same as omachee.org.
Do you install the official ISO?
Yes. Current Omarchy from omarchy.org — 4.x Quattro. We are not upstream. Checkout is on thelinuxlaptop.com.
What desktop does it ship with?
Hyprland. That is the Omarchy desktop: tiling, Super + Space for the menu, numbered workspaces. GNOME or KDE will boot if you change it on the product page; they are not the Omarchy experience.
Is Secure Boot on?
Off, as Omarchy requires. We leave Secure Boot and TPM disabled so the install boots the way upstream documents. LUKS full-disk encryption is the upstream default.
Will Wi-Fi and the GPU work?
We test Wi-Fi, GPU, audio, webcam, Bluetooth, and touchscreen on the installed Omarchy system. We test EVERYTHING before it leaves. If it doesn’t work, we make it work or it doesn’t ship. AMD iGPU machines are the safest daily Hyprland drivers. NVIDIA SKUs are badged; Omarchy’s installer handles NVIDIA.
Do you build these laptops?
No. We source new Acer, Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Asus machines, install Omarchy, and test them. You keep the manufacturer hardware warranty. We do not sell white boxes and we do not manufacture metal.
Where do I actually pay?
On thelinuxlaptop.com. Every Configure button opens that chassis on The Linux Laptop Company with Omarchy already selected. Same cart, same engineer, same UPS. This domain does not take payment.
Can I dual-boot?
Default is full-disk Omarchy with LUKS, the way the official installer does it. Dual-boot only if you ask, and only if the machine has the disks for it. We set that on the TLLC product page.
What happens on first boot with agents?
You pick a default on first boot. Super + Space, then Setup, Defaults, Agent. Or run omarchy default agent with a name the ISO wires: claude, codex, grok, opencode, agy, copilot, crush, pi, omp, ori, hermes, muse, cursor-agent. The harness is the program. The model is whatever that account offers (Claude Opus 5.5, GPT-6 Sol, Grok 4.7, and the rest). The working list is on the Agents page. We do not sell those keys and we do not ship a vendor chatbot.
NVIDIA or AMD?
AMD iGPU is the calm daily driver for Hyprland. NVIDIA SKUs are badged NVIDIA. Omarchy’s installer handles NVIDIA. We test the GPU before it leaves.
How do I get updates?
Use Omarchy’s own Update menu. It is a rolling system. We do not freeze a private remix.
What about returns?
Returns follow The Linux Laptop Company policy: RMA, USA only. Change of mind is 30 days with a restocking fee; outbound shipping is not refunded. If the Linux install or a radio we tested fails as shipped, that is ours.
Do you ship outside the United States?
No. UPS, USA only.
Is this a good first Linux laptop?
For most people, no. Omarchy is keyboard-first and tiled. This site is for people who already want Omarchy.
Are you the official Omarchy store?
No. Omarchy is a trademark of the Omacom Foundation. This is The Linux Laptop Company installing their ISO on name-brand hardware. DHH endorses the shop.
