+### Building on Arch / Manjaro
+
+The `deb` and `pacman` targets are built via the `fpm` binary bundled by
+electron-builder, which links against `libcrypt.so.1`. Arch ships `libxcrypt`
+without that legacy ABI, so install the compat shim once:
+
+```bash
+sudo pacman -S libxcrypt-compat
+```
+
+`AppImage` builds without it.
+
+The pacman package is published as **`switchboard-doctly`** rather than
+`switchboard` because the Arch `extra` repo already ships a package named
+`switchboard` (elementary OS's Pantheon Control Center). Renaming avoids the
+file-conflict that would block installation alongside it. The app itself is
+still called Switchboard everywhere users see it — only the package identity
+changes. Uninstall later with `sudo pacman -R switchboard-doctly`.
