🔥 Before running 🔥
- Due to the fact that the script includes more than 150 functions with different arguments, you must read the entire Sophia.ps1 carefully and comment out/uncomment those functions that you do/do not want to be executed. Every tweak in the preset file has its' corresponding function to restore the default settings.
- Running the script is best done on a fresh install because running it on wrong tweaked system may result in errors occurring.
