Your Mac already has the app for remoting into Omarchy. wayshare speaks Apple's Screen Sharing protocol: ✅ ⌘ sends Super, your binds just work ✅ Clipboard both ways, even images ✅ High Performance mode for video + sound Read the install script before you pipe it. #Omarchy

If you have a Mac and a @hyprwm box (@Omarchy or otherwise), you can now connect with the Screen Sharing app that's already on your Mac. ⌘ maps to Super, clipboard is shared, and High Performance mode gives you sharp, smooth video and audio. Looking for beta testers 👇 github.com/wesleygrimes/ways…

15 fake copies of yay just hit the AUR with malware inside ✅ One pulled code from a Russian git host, ran as root ✅ Omarchy's installer and defaults skip the AUR ✅ DHH may drop it as an out-of-box option Read the PKGBUILD first: yay -G <pkg> Still using AUR? #Omarchy

Reminder: Omarchy doesn't use AUR for install or any of its recommended options. We moved off all that a long time ago. But maybe it's even time to drop offering AUR as an option out of the box? Our own package repository can just expand to capture whatever most people need.
