## Moving to Omarchy's official packages

Omarchy's own packages now support Apple Silicon, so this fork's quattro line ends. Macs move onto the official packages of the channel they follow (on edge: `omarchy-dev`, `omarchy-mac`, `omarchy-mac-boot` and the Aurora kernel) with `omarchy-mac-migrate`, which keeps the encryption, snapshots and data, changes nothing until a check passes, and resumes if it is cut short.

- **Macs installed from this repository:** nothing to do. One update marks the Mac; the next `omarchy update` moves it and asks for a reboot. A channel without a Mac release yet (stable and rc today) keeps updating as before until it has one.
- **Test images and other Macs:** run this on the Mac, then reboot when it says so:

<!-- omarchy-mac-migrate one-liner: migrate/build --check keeps the checksum current -->
```bash
d=$(mktemp -d) && curl -fsSLo "$d/omarchy-mac-migrate" https://github.com/omacom/omarchy-mac/releases/download/mac-migrate-v1/omarchy-mac-migrate && echo "07c01b67cc55e44576e1981da0b9ffd574f8f0d484cb9367f5dd9134fb43c25c $d/omarchy-mac-migrate" | sha256sum -c - && sudo bash "$d/omarchy-mac-migrate" run
```

`sudo omarchy-mac-migrate check` says what a run would do without changing anything, and `sudo omarchy-mac-migrate status` where a run stands. How it works: [migrate/README.md](migrate/README.md).
