-      <p>What is Retrodeck?</p>
+      <p>RetroDECK is an emulation and retro gaming application powered by the ES-DE Frontend that allows you to catalog and play your game collection directly on Linux in one unified experience. It's inspired by other embedded emulation systems like AmberELEC, EmuELEC, CoreELEC, Lakka, and Batocera. The goal is to have everything you need included in one package, so no other software is required.</p>
