iMac (17-inch, Late 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)
- 64-bit Core 2 Duo CPU but 32-bit EFI firmware: the stock installer needs a 32-bit EFI boot shim.
