• Eight coordinated styles, independent wallpapers and an editable dock.

• Signed custom component/game updates alongside Debian and configured vendor repositories.

Read the installation and validation guides before changing disks. This is a public beta: hardware coverage is limited, and Secure Boot, shared-ESP dual boot and suspend/resume are not certified. Original project work is MIT; bundled third-party software retains its own licenses. Matching notices and corresponding source accompany the release.
