Instead, we create a system where each component is chosen based on the principle of **\"maximum results with minimum resources\"**.\n\n**But most importantly** — we don't limit ourselves to beautiful configs.\n\nWe create **our own tools** that solve **long-standing pain points of the entire Linux community**:\n\u003ctable\u003e \n  \u003ctr\u003e \n  \u003ctd\u003e\n🏷️ Nemo Tags\n\nFor 10+ years the community requested a tagging system for Nemo.\nDevelopers ignored it.
