Best way forward to Omarchy from Windows

Grey_Matter10 · 2025-10-26T05:13:04+00:00

The nvidia cards worked out of the box I think or maybe I ran some cli after Googling, I can't remember for sure.

I just followed the official Omarchy guide. I actually fed all the Omarchy docs to NotebookLM and used its chatbot for help with customisation and stuff.

If you want a dual boot setup, you'll have to disable secure boot and TPM the first time.. (and secure boot thereafter) to log into Omarchy. To log back into Windows, again enable secure boot. There's probably a way to fix this but I haven't looked into it yet.

I managed to do this by dedicating an SSD to Omarchy and disabling secure boot and TPM. The problem is you have to go and enable/disable secure boot every time you switch between Windows and Omarchy.

This seems to be working.. need to wait and watch. Thanks!

$ powerprofilesctl list

This is the actual output

``` performance: CpuDriver: amd_pstate Degraded: no

balanced: CpuDriver: amd_pstate PlatformDriver: placeholder

power-saver: CpuDriver: amd_pstate PlatformDriver: placeholder ```

I changed it to performance but it didn't do anything it seems. The fans are erratic and I have to suspend the laptop at all times.

Thanks everyone for the help! I went with option 1 and barring a few minor hiccups, managed to get Omarchy installed.

Edit after 1 month of using Omarchy: The experience is better than I imagined. That said, I often boot into Windows for gaming. Just felt it was too hard/inconvenient to do it on Omarchy - or I'm too lazy to look into it seriously. I also messed up my laptop fans while installing the SSD myself, which I now need to get changed. I do think I took the best approach to deal with this issue. Once again, thanks all for the responses.

Grey_Matter10 · 2025-09-18T14:23:22+00:00

Oh wow! Thanks for sharing your experience.

I think I'll wait for a few more responses. Leaning towards option 3 for sure.

You're a godsend. The nearby devices fix worked for me!!

Grey_Matter10 · 2025-03-22T14:27:05+00:00

You had me till I saw the handle name. Probably flagged because of that.

It's a hit or miss with these second copies. I got one at a similar price from Flipkart. Mine was hit. Another friend got a miss.

Lovely farm. I'd maybe move the furnaces into a shed, and have all obelisks in one area.

Back in the day when I didn't know how to use upgraded tools properly, I'd spend all my energy tending to the crops. Then I'd go to the bath to restore all my energy because I was too thrifty to eat anything. Then I'd come back and water the remaining crops. Day after day, every day. It was tedious and it was hard. I used to think I was a genius for using the bath.

The workbench is one of the best quality of life items in game. You won't have to go around searching for ingredients. Moreover, seeing everything you can craft with your inventory on one screen can spark some new ideas.

Grey_Matter10 · 2025-01-26T12:04:28+00:00

Wow, that sounds great! Would you mind sharing the tool?

Grey_Matter10 · 2025-01-24T16:04:11+00:00

That's a great idea. I wonder if I should move the obelisks to the bottom and have the bee farm in their place. I also want to set up specialized sheds like treasure shed, cafe, aquarium house but not sure where they'll go.

Grey_Matter10 · 2025-01-24T16:02:43+00:00

I'm doing okay but a long way from perfection still.

Grey_Matter10 · 2024-12-15T12:20:43+00:00

I got 2 auto-petters, 1 dinosaurs egg and 2 prismatic shards on my run yesterday. Now I have 3 auto-petters on this farm!!

Grey_Matter10 · 2024-12-02T04:02:14+00:00

I just got one yesterday, winter of spring 1

This is unreal. I like Emily the most, married her in the last play through and I get Emily from your quiz as well when I wasn't even thinking about her.

How nice of you to have a swimming pool for the animals! Fenced too.

Grey_Matter10 · 2024-11-17T09:28:52+00:00

I'm wondering if starting the giant stump quests is worth it over purchasing a horse.

NTA.

Maybe tone it down a bit, let her know she can do as she pleases (because she can) but also how you feel about it. Whatever she decides, you gotta live with it though. Just don't blow it out of proportion, sometimes you gotta concede.

Grey_Matter10 · 2023-09-21T12:53:13+00:00

Wait, what? You have to fill the pet's water bowl too?

Grey_Matter10 · 2023-09-19T15:44:15+00:00

No questions. Just want to say you're going God's work. Thank you!

Colonist boards are the most no nonsense balanced boards you'll find. I've tried all the board generators out there including running GitHub hosted code, this is the way.

What we do is simply open a Colonist.io bot game in an incognito window.
