Mac mini (Late 2006)Mac mini2006EFI 32-bitno security chip
Not compatible: 32-bit-only CPU (Intel Core Solo / Core Duo "Yonah"). Omarchy and Arch Linux support x86_64 only.
Mac mini (Early 2006)
Early 2006
Core Solo 1.5 GHz or Core Duo 1.66 GHz · GMA 950
Not compatible0/20 tested
Known limitation: The Intel GMA 950 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)
- Every Macmini1,1 shipped with a 32-bit Yonah processor, so no configuration can run Omarchy. Listed for completeness.
