+## OS Compatibility
+
+This is a **Linux-only** configuration. It is developed and tested on an
+Arch Linux system; `fish-deps` also detects `apt`, `dnf`, `zypper`, and
+`yum` for broader distro support, but coverage outside Arch is thinner.
+
+IMPORTANT: A number of functions call Linux-specific subsystems directly, with
+no fallback:
+- `systemd-inhibit` (`wake-lock`)
+- `zramctl` / `swapon` (`swapstat`)
+- `sbctl` and UEFI Secure Boot state (`sbver`)
+- `wl-copy` / `xclip` for clipboard access (`y`, `p`, `paste`, `hist`) —
+  Wayland or X11 only, no `pbcopy`/`pbpaste` fallback
+- GNU coreutils flags such as `stat -c` and `numfmt` (`sudo-toggle`,
+  `dng2avif`), which differ or don't exist under a BSD userland
+
+**macOS** is not supported. `_fish_deps_detect_pm` does check for `brew`, but
+that alone does not make the functions above work — they have no macOS
+equivalent path today.
+
+**Windows** is not supported. Fish itself has no native Windows build;
+upstream's own "Windows" install docs are Cygwin/WSL workarounds, not a real
+port. This config is not tested under WSL either. WSL2 runs a real Linux
+kernel and can run `systemd`, so basic shell use may work, but `zramctl`,
+`sbctl`, and Secure Boot state are meaningless inside a VM, and clipboard
+integration would need a WSL-specific path (`clip.exe`, `win32yank`) that
+does not exist here.
+
+**Assumed present on any Linux system this runs on:** `git`, `gpg`, `tar`,
+and GNU coreutils (for `stat`, `date`, `numfmt`). These are not tracked by
+`fish-deps` — see the Dependency Catalog — because
+they are base-system utilities, not opt-in software with an install journey
+to manage. A system missing any of them is missing basic Linux tooling, not
