this was the first guide I made
and im not a profesional or work at or with parsec

im just recommending a great application that I think deserves more love

if there is any mistakes or anyway I could improve this guide please tell me

also special thanks to the Parsec team that gave me thier Approval to make this Guide
(I don't know if its required but steam said something about ownership and rights and I don't want to be banned)
