Well...I have to admit that while our linux skills are kind of ok...designing HTML is pretty poor.So on behalf of Team PrathamOS, I accept the shortcomings on the UI Part.Thankfully,we recently got some good hands and within the next few weeks, a more user friendly visualization will be on offer.

The Distribution (we dont consider it an OS!!) is dedicated to the community itself.No conscious or percieved effort is intended, to showcase some sort of innovation or uniqueness.Primarily because,there is none.But over the years,due to benevolence by numerous netizens, we happened to learn some tricks here and there.All that is a part of this initiative.Automation has been implemented to make things easier to use for new / non-power users.For example, java installation requires just typing setuporaclejdk on the terminal.or to upgrade kernel (4.18rc3 latest) just type kernel-upgrade...This is what we interpret as the Power Of Simplicity.Thus the TagLine...

The donation is just to solicit support to keep operations running.Nothing is premium or paid in nature.When we ourselves have been staunch supporters of Open Source Philosophy,it makes no sense to charge anything...specially when everything belongs ot the community anyway!!!The distribution allows users to add functionality in layers called packs.Higher demomination Contributions get to download everthing in one iso..thats it.

I would like to thank all participants here for giving their valuable time to provide constructive criticism & feedback.It keeps the team motivated to put in more effort and bring whatever little value to the Linux Community.

Thanks A Lot On behalf of Team PrathamOS Rakesh Khandelwal
