## **what is GOPIOS** gopios is a digital tool that sits between your hardware and software, it is free and opensource in nature containing properiotary drivers mainly for NVIDIA, it comes with preloaded software that makes it useful for school, business and developers. individual users, schools can purchase gopios if they have extra money to support further development or simply get the iso install it and continue to use. siliconpin sells laptop, desktop and preinstalled gopios on external NVME drive. for enterprise there is a support and customization plan, under the hood it is a GNU os having GRUB as the boot loader, cachyos kernel -that powers the container platform to host Ubuntu, Kali, Alpine, Redhat derivatives and Windows installer. it also contains a ton of tools and softwares compiled by GCC and Rust, complete list can be found on the source code.
