## What it is
LinuxToys is a user-friendly graphical and CLI tool collection for Linux that simplifies installing software, drivers, gaming tools, and system tweaks across many distributions. It supports manifest-based automated provisioning for setting up multiple machines consistently.

## Use cases
- install common apps and dev tools on any linux distro
- set up gaming tools like steam lutris and proton on linux
- automate provisioning of customer or fresh machines with a manifest
- install gpu drivers and system tweaks without terminal knowledge
- apply common linux fixes like codecs swap and grub config
- quickly deploy a development environment with vscode docker and sdks

## When to choose
- you want a one-stop multitool to install apps, drivers, and tweaks on mainstream distros
- you need to standardize setup across many linux machines via CLI manifests
- you're a beginner who wants powerful linux functionality without the terminal

## When to avoid
- you run a non-x86 architecture or a non-systemd init system
- you need fine-grained control over every package and config file
- your distro is not among the supported Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, SUSE, or Solus families
