New stable Arch mirror

With hundreds of thousands of people having downloaded the Omarchy ISO, it's time to ensure that the bleeding edge of Arch package upgrades isn't automatically rolling out to everyone without vetting. So we're introducing a new stable mirror that'll lag the latest by a month. It'll grab a snapshot of the latest repo on the first of the month, then upload that on the last Monday at 10am UTC of the month. This will allow a smaller group of package pioneers to catch problems and fix them before everyone upgrades. That should dramatically lower the risk that we see incompatibility issues in the wild at a large scale.

If you're interested in being part of the Omarchy Package Pioneers, you can run omarchy-refresh-pacman-mirrorlist edge. That'll put you on the edge mirror where all new packages are immediately available. Please pull early and often, and help us catch future issues!

Ghostty is the new default terminal

Ghostty is a fantastic terminal created by @mitchellh, which natively supports splits and tabs. We've made it the default for new installations. Existing users can switch using Install > Terminal. Alacritty + Kitty remains as optional installs on new installations.

ghostty

You can see all keybinds on ghostty +list-keybinds, but here's a quick cheatsheet:

  • Ctrl + Shift + O split vertically.
  • Ctrl + Shift + E split horizontally.
  • Ctrl + Alt + Arrows move between splits.
  • Ctrl + Shift + Super + Arrows resize splits.
  • Ctrl + Shift + T open new tab
  • Ctrl + Shift + Arrows move between tabs.

New themes: Ethereal and Hackerman

Visual theme picker

The theme picker new has visual previews of every included theme (and every extra theme can add preview.png in 16:9 to get the same):

Bluetooth TUI

With improvements to BlueTUI, we're finally able to make it match the TUI used for wifi configuration.

Tobi's try

Managing all your quick code experiments is made much nicer with @tobi's try. Automatically namespace your attempts by the data under ~/Work/tries, delete them from the overview, and jump back into the action. See the try page for more.

TTE go fullscreen: --no-eol (tte 0.12.2/0.13.0)
This doesn't work for Ghostty (yet?) but it does work for Kitty
The default is only 50

Closes #3175
SVGs work just fine, changing misleading caption
)

Replace hardcoded --class flag with xdg-terminal-exec --app-id to properly
support kitty and other terminals. This aligns with the rest of the codebase
and ensures floating window rules work correctly across different terminals.
Changed default bindings for switching to a window in a group. The original values did not respect different keyboard layouts.
* Update Helium browser in omarchy-launch-webapp

see #1945 (comment)

* Fix browser pattern matching in launch script for helium

This additional bind lets the user follow the default action of a notification with a keystroke in the same position `,` as the other notification binds.
AAC provides better cross-platform compatibility compared to Opus when
using MP4 containers. While Opus is supported in MP4, compatibility
varies across different media players and platforms.

In testing, screen recordings with Opus codec sent to Windows users
played without audio in Windows Media Player, while recordings with
AAC codec worked immediately without issues. AAC ensures recordings
are playable out-of-the-box across all platforms without requiring
users to install additional codecs or use alternative media players.

fix(walker): update for breaking changes in latest version
So we don't do it over and over again on a regular upgrade
Use desktop portal capture option which allows capturing monitors
connected to external gpus (common on laptops with dedicated gpus)
and supports capturing properly when hdr is enabled.

Desktop portal capture allows selecting capture of a window, monitor
or screen region.

Add -fallback-cpu-encoding yes to use cpu encoding if the system
doesn't support gpu encoding. Ideally omarchy should install vaapi
drivers which would fix this issue for most users, but some users
have a gpu that dont support gpu encoding at all so this option is still
needed.

Use pgrep with ^ as is done in waybar indicator screen-recording.sh
to only grep for gpu-screen-recorder program.

Update omarchy-menu to reflect not selecting region/display capture
and instead allow capturing only desktop audio or desktop + microphone
audio.

Fixes #3367 and #3303
