Over 1,700 pre-installed operating systems spanning 1948 to today, in a single Linux VM. Bundled QEMU, VirtualBox, and UTM. One-click launchers for Windows and Linux.

I'm like most people when it comes to reading and note-taking.

The above, unless I've completely forgotten my Shakespeare, was a soliloquy from Juliet Consulet regarding Romeo Montagnu
