All software should be open source.

Yeah!

Classic: modern policies, prehistoric execution.

I agree there are cases where sensitivity matters, like national security or systems tied to critical infrastructure. But when it comes to publicly funded software developed specifically for government use, the default should be open by principle. Exceptions can exist, but they must be justified — not the other way around. With COTS products like Microsoft Office, it’s different because the government is just a customer, not the owner of the development.

Absolutely!

I completely forgot that grub could be themed… brb

lol

Nicely done. Im always too scared to break my machine by messing with grub. :)

Yeah, the first time I tried it (alone) I broke GRUB and had to reinstall Arch (but I have backups of everything and my dotfiles). Then I followed the tutorial and everything worked out!

I have my system select the default option really quickly, so I don’t see GRUB. This makes it tempting to not do that, but I think I’ll accept the convenient option instead of the cool option still.

On mine, it’s already set to boot into Arch automatically. It shows in the bottom right corner: “Joining world in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.” It’s really cool, man!
