This file talks about what software AmogOS uses
**AmogOS Under the Hood**

# RPI
The RPI version of AmogOS is made with a RPI OS lite base and developed bare metal. It uses Openbox for the WM and LXDE for the DE. From there, the Papyrus theme was used for the OS icons. A lot of apps are preinstalled, as detailed in the features section on README. The OS is read from SD Card to a .img with GNOME Disks, and then finally shrunk with pishrink.
This document explores the software components that make AmogOS tick. Be warned, there may be some imposters among the standard software choices...

* **Foundation:** AmogOS for Raspberry Pi (RPI) utilizes a lightweight RPI OS Lite base, developed directly on the hardware (bare metal) for maximum efficiency.

* **Look and Feel:** Openbox Window Manager provides a customizable and familiar desktop environment, while the LXDE Desktop Environment offers a more traditional layout. Papyrus, a popular theme, adds a touch of personality to the icons, making them instantly recognizable (just don't get them vented).

* **Pre-Installed Apps:** For your convenience, AmogOS comes pre-loaded with a variety of useful applications detailed in the README file. Everything you need to start operating... suspiciously fast.

* **Installation:** The operating system image is transferred from an SD card to a .img file using GNOME Disks, a standard tool. Finally, a tool called "pishrink" (sounds a bit sus, doesn't it?) optimizes the image size for efficient storage.

**In essence,** AmogOS leverages a proven and lightweight foundation with a customizable interface and helpful pre-installed apps. The installation process is straightforward, ensuring a smooth transition to your new AmogOS environment. Just be cautious of any unexpected pop-ups... they might be imposters in disguise!
