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.

System sleep

Omarchy enables suspend and hibernation by default, but if you're having issues with either on your machine, you can toggle them off.

Power profiles

On a laptop, Omarchy remembers your power profile separately for plugged in and running on battery, and switches between the two as you plug and unplug. Out of the box that means performance on AC and balanced on battery.

You can see what your machine offers with omarchy powerprofiles list, and set the one you want for the state you're currently in with omarchy powerprofiles set autodetect power-saver. To set the other state without unplugging anything, name it directly: omarchy powerprofiles set battery power-saver. Whatever you pick is what you'll get back the next time you're in that state.

Toggle suspend

You toggle suspend by running omarchy toggle suspend from the terminal. That just reveals/hides the option under System (or Super + Esc), and then you can see if it works consistently on your system. If not, you can hide it again with the same command.

Toggle hibernation

You set up hibernation by running omarchy hibernation setup from the terminal. Hibernation creates a /swap subvolume on your boot drive the size of your physical RAM allocation, so make sure you have plenty of room to spare. On a 32GB machine, you'll always need 32GB+ free for this volume. Hibernation also requires the default Limine bootloader.

When set up, you'll see the hibernate option under System (or Super + Esc), and then you can see if it works consistently on your system. If not, you can remove it again by running omarchy hibernation remove.
