David Heinemeier HanssonandClaude Fable 5 1ae83f1606 Add a switchers chapter and fix drift found on a second manual pass
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.

# Other Packages
Arch has an amazing wealth of packages available for almost any type of software between the official repository and the Arch User Repository (AUR).
It couldn't be easier to use either. You install a new Arch package by going to _Install > Package_ in the Omarchy menu (`Super + Space`) and typing the package you want. It'll automatically fuzzy filter the list of all packages. (You can also do it manually using `omarchy pkg add [package]` in the terminal).
You can do the same with AUR, just use _Install > AUR_. Just remember that the AUR isn't vetted by the Arch team. It's like RubyGems or npm. Anyone can upload.
If you want to remove a package, you can use _Remove > Package_ from the Omarchy menu. It'll remove package, config files, and dependencies. (You can also do it manually using `omarchy pkg drop [package]`).
