-# FastestMirror Project Summary
-
-## Project Overview
-FastestMirror is a professional Go application that automatically detects Linux distributions and finds the fastest package repository mirrors. It's designed to be both technically impressive and subtly entertaining - perfect for a resume project.
-
-## Key Technical Features
-
-### 🏗️ Architecture
-- **Clean Architecture**: Organized with `cmd/`, `internal/`, and `pkg/` structure following Go best practices
-- **Modular Design**: Separate packages for distribution detection, mirror testing, and configuration management
-- **Concurrent Processing**: Uses Go goroutines for parallel mirror testing
-- **Error Handling**: Robust error handling throughout with meaningful error messages
-
-### 🔍 Distribution Detection
-- Parses `/etc/os-release`, `/etc/lsb-release`, and fallback detection methods
-- Supports major Linux families: Debian, Arch, Fedora, openSUSE, Gentoo, Alpine, etc.
-- Graceful fallback mechanisms for edge cases
-
-### ⚡ Mirror Testing Infrastructure
-- Concurrent HTTP speed testing with configurable timeouts
-- Latency measurement and download speed calculation
-- Smart scoring algorithm combining multiple metrics
-- Proper connection handling and resource cleanup
-
-### 🎨 User Experience
-- Beautiful CLI interface with colors and progress bars
-- Professional help text with subtle humor
-- Comprehensive command structure with subcommands
-- Safe operations with backup and dry-run modes
-
-### 🔧 Configuration Management
-- Safe backup creation with timestamps
-- Support for major package manager configurations
-- Atomic operations with rollback capability
-- Proper permission handling and root privilege checks
-
-## Commands Implemented
-
-### `fastestmirror find`
-- Auto-detects distribution
-- Tests mirrors concurrently
-- Shows ranked results with performance metrics
-- Configurable timeout and result count
-
-### `fastestmirror apply`
-- Requires appropriate privileges
-- Creates automatic backups
-- Applies fastest mirror safely
-- Provides post-application instructions
-
-### `fastestmirror version`
-- Shows build information
-- Displays Go version and architecture
-- Links to repository
-
-## Technical Highlights
-
-### Dependencies
-- **Cobra**: Professional CLI framework
-- **Color Libraries**: Beautiful terminal output
-- **Progress Bars**: Visual feedback during operations
-- **Standard Library**: Extensive use of Go's robust standard library
-
-### Code Quality
-- Comprehensive error handling
-- Clean separation of concerns
-- Concurrent operations with proper synchronization
-- Resource management and cleanup
-
-### Safety Features
-- Automatic configuration backups
-- Dry-run mode for testing
-- Root privilege validation
-- Rollback capabilities on failure
-
-## Subtle Humor Elements
-The project includes professional yet entertaining elements:
-- Witty error messages ("your connection might be fucked")
-- Humorous descriptions in help text
-- Satirical comments in code and documentation
-- Professional tone with personality
-
-## Resume Value
-This project demonstrates:
-- **Go Proficiency**: Modern Go idioms and best practices
-- **Systems Programming**: Linux distribution detection and configuration management
-- **Concurrent Programming**: Goroutines and proper synchronization
-- **CLI Development**: Professional command-line interface design
-- **Error Handling**: Robust error management and user feedback
-- **Testing Infrastructure**: Network operations and performance measurement
-- **Software Architecture**: Clean, modular design patterns
-
-## Repository
-- **Location**: `https://git.gostacks.org/iwasforcedtobehere/fastestmirror`
-- **Author**: `@iwasforcedtobehere`
-- **License**: MIT
-- **Build System**: Comprehensive Makefile with cross-platform builds
-
-This project showcases technical competence while maintaining personality - exactly what makes a great resume project stand out!

 FastestMirror is a blazingly fast, auto-magical tool that finds and configures the fastest package repository mirrors for your Linux distribution. No more suffering through downloads that move slower than continental drift!
 
-## Features That'll Make You Smile 😊
+## Features 
 
-- **🔍 Auto-Detection**: Automatically detects your Linux distribution (because we're not psychic, but we're pretty close)
-- **⚡ Concurrent Testing**: Tests multiple mirrors simultaneously using Go's goroutines (multithreading that actually works)
-- **🎨 Beautiful Output**: Colorful terminal interface that doesn't make your eyes bleed
-- **📊 Smart Scoring**: Combines speed and latency metrics to find the objectively best mirror
-- **🔒 Safe Operations**: Always backs up your config before making changes (we're not monsters)
-- **🌍 Wide Support**: Works with major Linux distributions and their families
