"title": "When to pick Customizable",
"body": "Choose this path when you already know which tweaks you want on the host — or which you definitely do not want. The script presents a checklist per category so you can pre-select, deselect or mix-and-match optimizations. Every item can be applied again later (it is idempotent) or reverted from Uninstall Optimizations."

"compare": {
"heading": "How it compares to Automated",
"body": "Customizable is a superset of the Automated script. It covers the same 13 baseline optimizations plus a long list of opt-in ones that Automated intentionally skips — things that are useful only on specific hardware (AMD fixes), specific hosting (OVH RTM), or specific workloads (IOMMU/VFIO, Ceph repo, High Availability, Fastfetch, Figurine, ZFS ARC tuning, pigz, ZFS auto-snapshot, vzdump speed limits, Open vSwitch, TCP BBR…)."

"heading": "The 10 categories",

"mixTip": {
"title": "Mix Automated and Customizable",
"body": "A common pattern: run Automated first to lock in the sensible baseline, then open Customizable and pick only the opt-in tools you care about (for example, IOMMU on a host that will do GPU passthrough). Changes are tracked independently; the Uninstall menu shows everything you have applied regardless of which path added it."
