-> **Target:** [Omarchy](https://omarchy.com) — Arch + Hyprland + SDDM + Walker. DeckShift depends on Omarchy-specific helpers (`omarchy-pkg-add`, `omarchy-restart-walker`, etc.) and is not intended to be cross-distro.
+> **Current status**: targets [Omarchy](https://omarchy.com) (Arch + Hyprland + SDDM + iwd). Works on other Arch + Hyprland setups with minor manual tweaks. Cross-distro support (Fedora / openSUSE / Cachy) is the next direction.

 ## What's New
 
-### v0.1.6 — Omarchy-only, simpler portal recovery
-
-- Dropped the non-Omarchy fallback in `deckshift-portal-recovery` — DeckShift targets Omarchy only, so the helper now just calls `omarchy-restart-walker` directly.
-- Header / docs cleaned up to drop the "cross-distro is the next direction" note.
-
-### v0.1.5 — clipboard recovery after Gaming Mode
-
-- After returning from Gaming Mode, Walker's clipboard listener (`elephant.service`) was still bound to the killed Hyprland's Wayland socket, so paste did nothing and clipboard history was empty.
-- `deckshift-portal-recovery` now calls `omarchy-restart-walker` at the end, which restarts `elephant.service` + `app-walker@autostart.service` and reattaches the clipboard to the live compositor.
-
-### v0.1.4 — portal recovery race fix
-
-- The initial `deckshift-portal-recovery` helper restarted all five services (xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland, xdg-desktop-portal, pipewire, pipewire-pulse, wireplumber) simultaneously. That raced — the portals could come up before wireplumber had rebuilt the node graph, leaving the screencast portal bound to nothing.
-- Rewritten as a serialised sequence: push live `WAYLAND_DISPLAY`/`XDG_*` env into systemd-user + D-Bus activation env → stop portals → SIGTERM/SIGKILL stragglers → restart pipewire stack → wait → start portals.
-- Thanks to the user on the issue tracker who diagnosed the race and supplied the env-update + serialised-restart sequence.
-
 ### v0.1.3 — power-state save/restore + reliable exit
 
 - **Saves your real pre-Gaming-Mode state** (CPU governor + power profile) on entry to `~/.cache/deckshift/saved-state` and restores those exact values on exit. No more guessing `powersave`/`balanced`.

-Both symptoms have the same root cause: `xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland` and Walker's `elephant.service` (the clipboard listener) are still bound to the killed Hyprland instance after the SDDM restart. Tab capture in Chromium works because it bypasses the portal entirely.

-DeckShift handles this automatically via `/usr/local/bin/deckshift-portal-recovery` (autostarted from `~/.config/hypr/autostart.conf`). If you installed before this fix, re-run `./deckshift.sh` to install the helper, or run the recovery manually:
