KT2, PW1, PW2, PW3, PW4, PW5, KO, KV are the abbreviations and how they are spelled.

Oh,thanks

Would it be possible for you to record a video showing all the installation steps?
Is it possible for the user to choose which linux distro to use?
Does the extension only use the "public" internal storage (the part that is mounted on the computer) and is it possible to remove what was installed easily?
