Modularitea
Modularitea is the built-in graphical system management application for TeaLinuxOS. It unifies the concepts of an App Store and System Settings into a single, modern interface — allowing you to manage your entire TeaLinuxOS experience without ever touching the terminal.
Philosophy
Modularitea is built around the belief that Linux can be both powerful and accessible. Too often, essential system tasks — installing software, changing DNS, optimizing performance — require users to memorize terminal commands or edit configuration files by hand. Modularitea removes these barriers while preserving the full power of the underlying system.
“The delight of a well-crafted blend” — TeaLinuxOS philosophy, applied to system management.
