Question 1

Is Omarchy-nix still being maintained?

Accepted Answer

No, the author states they are not actively working on it and have switched to Arch Omarchy, so it may not receive updates or support for future NixOS versions.

Question 2

How do I change the theme in Omarchy-nix?

Accepted Answer

Set the 'theme' option in your configuration to a predefined name like 'tokyo-night' or use 'generated_dark'/'generated_light' with a wallpaper_path in theme_overrides for auto-generated color schemes.

Question 3

Can I use Omarchy-nix without Hyprland or for server setups?

Accepted Answer

No, it's specifically tailored for the Hyprland desktop environment and web development workflows, so it's not designed for server use or other window managers.

Question 4

Omarchy-nix vs original Omarchy: which is better for NixOS?

Accepted Answer

Omarchy-nix is better if you're committed to NixOS and want a quick Hyprland start, but the original Omarchy offers more features and active development if you use Arch Linux.

Question 5

How to add custom packages or configurations to Omarchy-nix?

Accepted Answer

Extend it via home-manager integrations or modify the provided NixOS modules, as it's designed as a launchpad for personalization rather than a fixed setup.

Question 6

Does Omarchy-nix work with older NixOS versions?

Accepted Answer

It's configured for nixpkgs 25.05, so compatibility with older versions isn't guaranteed, and lack of updates might cause issues with new releases.
