+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm Crystal Linux
+.Op crystal
+.Ar arch based
+.Ar easy to use
+.Ar linux distro
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+is an arch based linux distro with it's own installer and package manager
+.Sh Goals
+.Nm
+tries to bring modern linux technologies to the average users while still being
+easy to use
+
+.Sh Package Management
+.Nm
+uses a pacman wrapper called \fBame\fP to install, remove, updated and search
+packages, however users are still able to use pacman directly.
+
+
+\fBame\fP is written in rust and is particularly fast with aur packages since it
+builds multiple aur packages at once.
+
+
+.Nm
+also comes preinstalled with flatpak.
+
+.Sh Installing
+.Nm
+installs like any other Distribution, you boot the live iso and launch the Installer.
+
+The installer, \fBJade\fR \fBGUI\fR is a custom written installer that uses
+libadwaita and gtk4 for the frontend, and the \fBjade\fR as the backend.
+
+
+Once the user boots into crystal for the first time, they are greeted with a
+first setup application that allows them to set up Flatpak, install nvidia drivers
+and change the color scheme.
+
+.Sh Desktop
+.Nm
+by defaul tuses \fBOnyx\fR, a custom gnome session with extra extensions to make
+the experience more familiar with other desktops or operating systems.
+
+If the User does not want to use \fBOnyx\fR, they can simly select a different
+Desktop or Window Manager in \fBJade\fR \fBGUI\fR.
+These Desktops and Window Managers include vanilla GNOME, KDE, i3 and sway.
