# LinuxToys
[LinuxToys](https://linux.toys) is a collection of user-friendly tools designed for Linux systems. It aims to make powerful Linux functionality accessible to all users through an intuitive interface. For a complete feature list and detailed documentation, please visit our [Wiki](https://linux.toys/knowledgebase.html).
## Compatibility
LinuxToys is compatible with the following Linux distributions, provided they are *running their **latest** stable versions*, and use `systemd` as their init system:
* **Debian** and derivatives (PikaOS, LMDE, etc.)
* **Ubuntu** and derivatives (Ubuntu flavours, Mint, Zorin, Tuxedo, etc.)
* **Fedora** and derivatives (Nobara, Ultramarine and spins)
* **Red Hat Enterprise Linux** and similars (CentOS Stream, AlmaLinux, etc.)
* **Arch Linux** and derivatives (EndeavourOS, CachyOS, etc.)
* **Manjaro** and **Big Linux**
* **OpenSUSE** (Leap, Slowroll and Tumbleweed)
* Fedora-based **Atomic Distributions** (Atomic Fedora, Universal Blue images like Bazzite, Bluefin, Aurora)
* **Solus**
Only x86 computers are supported, as other architectures lack support from most packages that are components of LinuxToys, even though the app itself may run on ARM devices.
## Usage without installation for stable versions
You can use LinuxToys without installing it by downloading the new AppImage made by our friends at **[pkgforge-dev](https://github.com/pkgforge-dev)** from their [releases page](https://github.com/pkgforge-dev/LinuxToys-AppImage/releases). Just download the latest release, make it executable, and run it. Issues with the AppImage can be reported at [the AppImage repository](https://github.com/pkgforge-dev/LinuxToys-AppImage), and both of us will be working together to make it the best experience possible.

The simplest way to install LinuxToys is by using the automated installation script. Open your terminal and run:
