Two hundred thousand ISO downloads of Omarchy Quattro in just 18 days! On average, someone has pulled a fresh Omarchy every 8 seconds since Quattro shipped. At the peak, we shipped 1,165 ISOs in a single hour. One every 3 seconds!
Downloads come from 215 countries and territories. That’s more places than the UN has members! Over half the downloads come from outside the top five countries. And on a per-capita basis, the Nordics are leading the charge: Iceland, Norway, and Denmark all pull Omarchy at more than twice the American rate. Vikings for the win! (But the US is still 28% of downloads in absolute numbers.)
Another great way to see the momentum: 1Password knows which Linux distros their users run, and during the week, Omarchy is now their #2 distro, ahead of Fedora. On the weekends? We’re #1! People run Omarchy for fun. When nobody is telling them what to use, this is what they pick.
So let’s extrapolate wildly: At the current pace of the last week, we pull the millionth Quattro ISO on November 4. And that’s the conservative count on installs: it’s completed-download equivalents from our own servers, before you add people using the same ISO twice.
The Year of Linux on the Desktop!
