Not compatible0/32 tested
Known limitation: The ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 reaches OpenGL ES 2.0 only. Hyprland 0.50 and later needs 3.0, so stock Omarchy's desktop won't start. Software rendering or a GLES 2.0 fork of Hyprland may work; results will tell.

Research notes (unverified)
- First 17-inch Intel MacBook Pro. Adds FireWire 800 and a third USB port. 32-bit Core Duo CPU and 32-bit EFI firmware, so no configuration can run Omarchy.
- The iSight camera reports "no firmware loaded" and needs firmware extracted from macOS.
- Apple's identification page no longer lists 2006–2007 MacBook Pros; release names follow the size and season convention used for later models.
