iMac4,1
iMac (20-inch, Early 2006)iMac2006EFI 32-bitno security chip
Not compatible: 32-bit-only CPU (Intel Core Duo "Yonah"). Omarchy and Arch Linux support x86_64 only.
iMac (17-inch, Early 2006)
Known limitation: The ATI 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 Intel iMac. Every configuration has a 32-bit Yonah CPU, so none can run Omarchy.
