David Heinemeier HanssonandClaude Fable 5 55434792d1 Cover the shell, capture, browsers, and networking in the manual
Add chapters for the top bar and its panels, screenshots and recording,
toggles/idle/screensaver, browsers, shell plugins, and networking, which
collects the Wi-Fi, DNS, firewall, and Tailscale material that was spread
across the FAQ, TUIs, and services chapters.

Fill smaller gaps in the existing chapters: user hooks, autostart, menu
extensions, printing, power profiles, factory reset, drive and user
passwords, passwordless sudo, firmware updates, display text size, and
the LocalSend share menu.

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]).
