The heart of Fedora MacTahoe — everything on this page ships with it, and everything relies on it. Checks the GitHub repo for new releases, then updates the theme, icons, fonts, sounds, configs — or everything at once. Every target has its own help box, and a pinned checksum verifies each download before it's applied.
