Try Omarchy for Windows is a single small launcher that runs the full Omarchy 4.0.3 desktop inside Windows using QEMU on the Windows Hypervisor Platform (WHPX), delivering GPU-accelerated rendering via virgl + Venus Vulkan (WINQ-EMU) with an automatic CPU fallback. It avoids traditional VM friction - no VMware/VirtualBox, no repartitioning or dual-boot - by enabling WHPX on first run, downloading a verified GPU runtime and a prebuilt Arch-based Omarchy image, and booting straight into Hyprland with branded windowing, SDDM autologin, camera/microphone support, screenshots, snapshots, and instant trial account mode. The window behaves like an app (Windows key as Super only when focused), supports fullscreen, raw input grab, and ships a reproducible x86_64 guest build and a headless QMP control plane for testing.
The launcher is ~10 MB, the runtime ~84 MB, and the image ~2 GB; everything is SHA256-verified and updates are signed with Ed25519, with rollback/restore protections on failed boots. Key integrations include two-way text and image clipboard, virtio-9p folder sharing with background file drops and progress, audio/video capture, and poweroff/launch supervision. Status is v0.0.20-preview with end-to-end GPU-accelerated operation verified on an AMD Windows 11 laptop; broader host coverage is work in progress. Source builds are supported via Go and the app prefers any existing WINQ-EMU/QEMU installs.
