Proof Portal
Omarchy
ProbeLabs65 findings · 95 requirementsA proof layer — requirements, tests and verified fixes — for two of Omarchy's subsystems: the application menu (launcher scripts, QML model, JSONC config, search and selection) and the lock screen (lock scripts, QML, PAM authentication). Scope is deliberately limited to those components of omacom/omarchy; the rest of the distribution is not covered.

Original report
What do you need?
(Some) Windows applications work quite well once you install Wine (menu -> install -> package -> wine)..exe files are automatically associated with Wine and execute when you double click them in the file browser. I did have to fiddle with winecfg and scale the DPI under the Graphics tab way up to make applications readable, but this may be display hardware dependent.
User swork1 over on X asked about Sierra Chart (https://www.sierrachart.com/) and if the experience of running Windows apps in Omarchy can be improved.

I don't know if there is enough demand for having a better out of the box Windows applications experience, but I promised to look into it and here are some ideas:
- Have Wine installed with a default Omarchy installation
- If possible, pre-generate configuration in
~/.wine - Have a simple (Gum?) TUI that allows you to add installed windows applications (in
~/.wine/drive_c/...) to the app launcher, similar to how web apps are added.
If enough demand, I or someone else may look into this.
