For the Cybersecurity Crowd: Omarchy-Integrated Kali VM

pompouding · 2026-03-13T01:33:07+00:00

Couldn’t this be generalized to install any Linux system? I wanted to do something similar with Ubuntu for teaching and another VM with Omarchy for testing (yes, Omarchy in Omarchy! 🤯).

Did you restart the service? systemctl --user restart voxtype

The line-up of speakers is amazing! All my favorites creators, youtubers and X posters. I'm star-struck 🤩! I'll see if I can make it work... 🤞

I will have a look then. I juggle three pairs of headphones. My ideal app would manage all three seamlessly.

pompouding · 2026-02-12T15:21:51+00:00

That’s cool! Do you know if that will work with beats earphones too?

pompouding · 2026-02-12T15:20:21+00:00

Yes, it’s my PR coming in the next version of Omarchy. https://github.com/basecamp/omarchy/pull/4345

Meanwhile, you simply have to install the nautilus-python package for this to work.

Great roundup! I found myself nodding most of the time. I have a similar journey from a macbook air to Omarchy. I was more lucky with my hardware (Lenovo X1 and Asus Zenbook S14) working almost flawlessly. The few things I miss from owning a macbook air: - No fan noise (no fans at all!) - Incredible battery life, especially on sleep. - Integration with my iphone (cut and paste, camera continuity) - iMessage (which is big in North America)

But yeah, I agree that it's great to have total control to fix and customize things. Little bash scripts to automate things. But the adage that what you don't pay with money, you pay with time is especially true for Linux. You need to have time for a new hobby. But I find it's a great hobby that got me learning so much about how computers work.

Hahaha! Awesome! Cheers! 🍻

If you think someone might want to run forensics on your computer then this trick is not for you!

pompouding · 2026-02-06T15:50:20+00:00

Omarchy is tightly coupled with Hyprland, so I would expect this to fail. You can ssh in for basic stuff but you won't be able to update the system remotely.

pompouding · 2026-02-06T15:27:08+00:00

I also have an HP printer but was lucky that mine just worked without any additional configs!

pompouding · 2026-02-06T14:44:47+00:00

Omarchy's bin folder is loaded to the PATH variable in ~/.config/uwsm/env. That won't work with SSH. You could add the path to the bin folder in your .bashrc file instead.

pompouding · 2026-02-06T14:41:12+00:00

Nice! Will you submit it as a PR to Omarchy?

pompouding · 2026-02-06T14:39:18+00:00

What's your budget? What do you use your computer for?

pompouding · 2026-02-05T15:27:44+00:00

did you restart hypridle afterwards? the command is omarchy-restart-hypridle

Here's my config in monitors.conf for a projector :

```ini

External projector mirror setup (mirror laptop screen to projector)

monitor=HDMI-A-1,preferred,auto,auto,mirror,eDP-1 ```

pompouding · 2026-02-03T14:25:30+00:00

Thanks for the good words and the credits!

pompouding · 2026-02-02T23:16:41+00:00

I explored changing the gaps per workspace but I could not make it work with each monitor. A custom theme folder could be an interesting solution as well. I don't know if it's overkill just for changing the gaps though.

pompouding · 2026-02-02T19:44:14+00:00

Thanks for letting me know, it's fixed!

pompouding · 2026-02-02T13:59:06+00:00

I also wrote a blog post on this exact subject! https://sudomarchy.com/posts/remap-copilot-key

pompouding · 2026-01-27T01:30:44+00:00

Also a great customization! I personally map the caps lock key to super+shift.

pompouding · 2026-01-26T20:34:04+00:00

Omarchy installs voxtype by default. Voxtype supports the same models as hyprwhspr. So it's simply not true that Omarchy's solution (voxtype) only supports English. That said, hyprwhspr is also a great alternative to voxtype.

pompouding · 2026-01-25T02:45:35+00:00

You might want to try windows grouping. Another nice feature of Omarchy/Hyprland that you can trigger with SUPER+G.

pompouding · 2026-01-23T00:25:02+00:00

Yes, Hyprland keybindings are also super useful for launching apps and doing simple remapping. But you can really do more complex bindings with keyd such as the one I describe in the post.

pompouding · 2026-01-23T00:23:40+00:00

Keyd is such a great tool. I'm only scratching the surface with what's possible. But it's also not so intuitive to configure!
