Need a media center? We got you.

Need server software? Bro. Who are you even asking?

Need a desktop? We got you.

Need to open that hard drive? The app is in the repository for absolutely free, just works and the hard drive opens.

Corrupted?

No prob, fam, here’s a suite of recovery tools. We’ll get those photos of gran-gran back no prob.

Need to burn that disk? The app is in the repository for absolutely free, just works and you’re burning a disk for the family.
