Installing Omarchy on My Surface Book for .NET Development
Sep 5, 2026
I installed Omarchy on my first-generation Microsoft Surface Book, mostly to find out whether this 2015 laptop could still make a good .NET development machine.
The installation took about two minutes.
That was the first surprise. It is my timing on my machine, not a benchmark, but it matches Omarchy's own guidance. The documentation says installation can take less than a minute on fast hardware and no more than five minutes on older computers.
Two minutes on an original Surface Book certainly works for me.
