Editing AO Linux (section)

== Core Features ==

* '''Kernel and Compiler Tweaks:''' Features a highly customized and patched kernel, often including low-latency settings, and heavily modified compiler profiles to maximize application execution speed.
* '''Automated Optimization:''' Includes a suite of **AO-Tools** that automatically detect the user's specific CPU model and configure the entire system's compiler flags (**CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS**) to match for peak performance.
* '''Desktop Environment:''' Typically ships with a highly optimized version of **KDE Plasma** or a lightweight, heavily tuned **Xfce**, ensuring the graphical shell does not become a bottleneck.
* '''Target User:''' Users comfortable with a source-based system who prioritize absolute performance and are willing to invest time in the compilation process for faster execution.
