Developer Note & Issue Reporting
HiganveinOS is developed independently by D-P. We prioritize verifiable system stability over superficial feature additions. If you experience partition issues, driver regressions, or bootloader anomalies, open a GitHub Issue with your hardware configuration, system logs, and exact steps to reproduce.
