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.

Hardware authentication
Fingerprint authentication
A lot of laptops come with a fingerprint sensor to do authentication. You can use this with Omarchy by running Setup > Security > Fingerprint in the Omarchy menu (Super + Space).
That'll install the fingerprint package, collect your print, verify it, and you'll be set to go using your fingerprint to unlock from the lock screen (which you can trigger with Super + Ctrl + L), enter sudo mode, and authorize system prompts.
When your laptop lid is closed, the fingerprint prompt is automatically skipped, so you go straight to the password prompt instead of waiting on a sensor you can't reach. If you otherwise need to work on an external keyboard that doesn't have a sensor, just hit CTRL + C, when you're prompted for your fingerprint during sudo.
You can remove the fingerprint authentication under Remove > Security > Fingerprint in the Omarchy menu.
Fido2 authentication
If you're using a Fido2 device, you can set it up for sudo authentication using Setup > Security > Fido2 in the Omarchy menu (Super + Space). It covers sudo and system authorization prompts, though, not unlocking your computer.
You can remove the fido2 authentication under Remove > Security > Fido2 in the Omarchy menu.
