Most of the former nations can at least offset this with immigration, while the latter ones don’t

This could easily be implemented with an SQL-like database. Are you sure you want to use Git for this? The only advantage would be that you get historic data out of the box, but you’ll probably only fetch the latest data anyways

Me neither, I only stumbled across this a couple of days ago. I don’t use Bluesky but I heard that it’s not really defederated because of the large amount of resources it requires. Not sure if it applies to ATProto in general. For now I’m sticking with Codeberg because what’s a federated network worth if there’s not much to federate with

Tangled is also a new Git forge built on ATProto, the protocol used by Bluesky

Miraheze is also great if you need it hosted

You are right! I meant to refer to Plymouth, which will do what I described. It’s been a while since I did this.

Perhaps this is a little overkill, but you could install a display manager like GDM or SDDM that displays a graphical password input.

I noticed that you are interested in immutable distros! That’s a good choice for your requirements, since it allows you to skip troubleshooting most issues by rebooting or performing a rollback.

I myself am happily using NixOS, but I think its advantages only shine when you want to spend time configuring your system. That being said, if you want to invest that time once and you stay on the stable version, you can also have quite a stable experience.

The other two options you listed are both atomic Fedora spins made by uBlue, which add minor customizations to the base image. Both of their non-GNOME seem to be based on Fedora Kinoite, which would be another option. Fedora is generally more opinionated, which is good if you don’t want to tweak anything.

Between these Fedora images, I’d recommend Fedora Kinoite for simple setups and Bazzite if your focus is on gaming. I have never heard of Aurora before and it doesn’t seem to add that much. That being said, if you want to try out multiple of these options, you can always rebase your current atomic Fedora desktop to another image!

You can use glim or build your own tool using grub. Edit: The article on Arch Wiki describes the manual process and also list more automatic alternatives.

I freed my entire disk by removing the French language pack

I just wrote a blog post and it was shit but at least I know what to do better next time.

oh great another Rust crate that is scared of making a stable release

Android doesn’t allow that either nowadays. It’s just a matter of security. You wouldn’t want an unauthorized person to connect you to an insecure network or let them stop you from receiving important messages. Whether it’s worth it to force the user to log in is debatable though.
