* Autonomy - the system does not require Internet access for installation, and thanks to the "PortSoft" catalog and the stable "Applications" category in the menu, it is possible to [create and distribute autonomous installation packages of third-party applications](https://github.com/Shedou/Chimbalix-Software-Catalog), also suitable for installation without network access.
