The script only told you to `apt install g++-11`, and the compiler search stopped at g++-15, so a current Arch box with plain `g++` 16 worked only by accident. Missing tools now print the matching package command (omarchy pkg add / pacman / apt / dnf), the compiler walk starts at g++-30, and the Electron zip is checked against upstream SHASUMS256.txt before unpack. The launcher asks Electron for Wayland and PipeWire capture, which is what Hyprland/Omarchy actually run. The desktop entry drops the duplicate main category that desktop-file-validate warns about, and .gitignore now covers the .dmg, asar, and .cache the README already claimed it covered. Tested on Omarchy 4.0 (gcc 16, glibc 2.44) with Granola 7.568.0 / Electron 44.0.0: native module smoke test passes, window class is granola on native Wayland, and the login screen comes up.
icon.png in the bundle is a black "g|" glyph on a fully transparent canvas. On a dark launcher that reads as a missing icon. mac-icon.png is the lime squircle Granola actually ships; fall back to icon.png only if it is absent.
xdg-mime default left granola:// in mimeapps.list, and a leftover ~/Applications directory after deleting the app. Strip those on uninstall, and kill only this install's electron rather than any process whose command line happens to mention the path.
packaging/arch/PKGBUILD downloads the official macOS .dmg, patches the Linux-rejected platform string, rebuilds Granola's sqlite fork against distro electron44, and installs /usr/bin/granola. The desktop icon is the lime squircle, not the transparent wordmark. makepkg -si from that directory is the install path on Arch and Omarchy. Built and installed 7.568.0-1 locally.

'--ozone-platform=wayland' is not compatible with Vulkanon this Intel Ultra box. The window still came up on Wayland and looked correct, so the launcher does not force X11 or disable Vulkan.
