Add a switchers chapter and fix drift found on a second manual pass

Browse Source 
Add "Coming From Mac or Windows" as chapter 3: a translation layer for
Cmd/Win instincts rather than a feature tour.

Fill the remaining coverage gaps: fcitx5 input methods, laptop speaker
tuning, touchpad haptics, crash capture in the toggle table, the
installable font list, and the ChatGPT Desktop and Grok Bot entries.

Correct claims that drifted from the source: the network and bluetooth
bar icons no longer launch nmtui/bluetoothctl, monitor scaling steps
rather than cycles, and the display widget's scroll steps brightness.

# Getting Started
Omarchy is installed using an ISO. You can choose between a full-disk install, which takes over the entire drive, or a free-space install, which puts Omarchy in the unallocated space on a drive — that's how you dual boot alongside Windows or another OS (see [dual-boot install](50-dual-boot-install.md) — note that you'll need to turn off BitLocker in Windows first). Either way, the installation uses full-disk encryption, and the full-disk option will wipe the selected drive, so be sure to take a backup before using an existing one!

### Unattended installs
The ISO can also install completely on its own — no keyboard, no wizard — when it's handed its configuration on a second drive. That's the way to treat Omarchy as a base image for VMs and fleet machines. See [unattended installs](51-unattended-installs.md).
