hegjon's omacom/omarchy-iso#355 remains open, proposing fewer boot reads, deferred startup work and a console logo that continues into the installer greeter. In a November 2 follow-up, hegjon tested a local rebase onto the themed-menu work rather than reporting a merge.
In omacom/omarchy-iso#355:issuecomment-6577701352, hegjon reports median QEMU USB 2 UEFI startup falling from 25.0 to 10.1 seconds and cold-start hardware measurements on a Samsung laptop falling from 37.2 to 17.1 seconds from firmware boot menu to greeter. These are the author's measurements. hegjon also identified a stale expected filename in the combined tests and reported that correcting it allowed the combined suite to pass.
