    ArkOS

    ArkOS

    Another rockchip Operating System

    Another rockchip Operating System. This OS came about from an initial fork of The Retro Arena to support a roms folder on a NTFS partition so that the management of roms could be done by simply putting you SD card into an appropriate card reader on a Windows 10 computer. Through various upgrades and tweaks overtime, it has diverged significantly from TheRA and it's time to rebrand this distro. With suggestions provided by community members, ArkOS was chosen.
