 # Linsk
 
-Linsk is a utility that allows you to access Linux-native file system infrastructure, including LVM and LUKS on Windows and macOS. Unlike other solutions created to access Linux filesystems on unsupported operating systems, Linsk does not reimplement any file system. Instead, Linsk utilizes a lightweight Alpine Linux VM (~130 MB only) combined with network share technologies like SMB, AFP, and FTP.

+**Linsk** is a utility that allows you to access Linux-native file system infrastructure, including LVM and LUKS on Windows and macOS. Unlike other solutions created to access Linux filesystems on unsupported operating systems, Linsk does not reimplement any file system. Instead, Linsk utilizes a lightweight Alpine Linux VM (~130 MB only) combined with network share technologies like SMB, AFP, and FTP.
 
 Because Linsk uses a native Linux VM, there are no limitations on what you can access. Anything that works on Linux will work under Linsk too (hence the Linux+Disk name).

+# Linsk shell
+
+`linsk shell` will start a VM and open a full-fledged Linux shell for you. Linsk will not mount nor configure any file server.
+
+Linsk's VM runs Alpine Linux, a lightweight busybox-based Linux distribution. Upon the startup, you will find little to no preinstalled tools. This is intentional as the goal is to have the lightest VM possible. There is no default text editor preinstalled either. However, Linsk's Alpine Linux is supplied with `apk` package manager. You can use it to install packages of any kind. An installation of `vim`, for example, would mean running `apk add vim`.
+
+Linsk's shell can be used to format disks with tools like `mkfs` and run diagnostics with tools like `fsck`. Please note that you will need to install these separately using Alpine Linux's `apk` package manager. The other important purpose of Linsk's shell is to assist with troubleshooting.
+
+# Access the shell within `linsk run`
+
+In addition to `linsk shell` that can be used to help investigate disk-related issues, Linsk also provides a `--debug-shell` CLI flag for the `run` command. Unlike `linsk shell` , `linsk run --debug-shell` will start the shell *after* starting a network share. This is useful for investigating file share issues.
+
+Please note that by default, networking is restricted when `linsk run --debug-shell` is run. You will need to add `--vm-unrestricted-networking` flag in order to be able to access the outside network, which is commonly needed to install packages with `apk`.

+# Linsk troubleshooting tools
+
+To aid with debugging/troubleshooting, Linsk is bundled with a few tools aimed to give you access to the virtual machine's internals.
+
+### Error messages
+
+By far, error messages is the single most helpful tool to help with problems of any kind. Before referring to anything, please analyze the errors and logs in detail.
+
+**A great effort was put into ensuring that errors in Linsk are self-contained and provide enough information to understand what went wrong.** Please use them to your advantage.
+
+### Shell
+
+Linsk's shell is a powerful tool to assist with investigating issues inside the VM. Please refer to [SHELL.md](SHELL.md).
+
+### `--vm-debug` flag
+
+This flag is applicable in any `linsk` subcommand that starts a VM. Provided `--vm-debug`, Linsk will not start QEMU in headless mode and instead open a window with the virtual machine's display. **This is useful for investigating boot issues.**
