Maybe a bit off topic, but does anyone know about themes or GUIs for LUKS password entry? The command line version has pretty unintuitive behaviour for family members which are used to modern GUIs.

With a little config you can do that using Plymouth, a number of themes for it have have custom themed LUKS prompts.

I like the fact there are multiple splash tags even though "I use Arch BTW" is a great one.

For anyone else looking for the whole list, here it is: https://github.com/Lxtharia/minegrub-theme/blob/main/resourc...

Totally missing "`date '+%Y'`: the year of the linux desktop"

Not something you could script up using https://help.gnome.org/users/zenity/3.32/password.html.en or similar?

On Rocky Linux 8, I had to change GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT to "gfxterm", then it would pickup the GRUB_THEME value. My kid uses Grub all the time to reboot into Windows to play Minecraft Bedrock Edition, this will boggle his mind.

>reboot into Windows to play Minecraft Bedrock Edition And thus the "Extinguish" step is complete.

There are launchers on Flathub and Lutris for playing Bedrock Edition on Linux, but at the end of the day it was originally called Minecraft Windows 10 Edition.

Ummmm ... what is grub? Didn't see any links to it from the three random grub2 repos I looked at.

GRUB is a common bootloader for Linux systems: it gives you a menu of boot options when you turn on your machine, and boots whichever installed operating system you choose.

So with this theme, that menu for choosing which OS to boot looks like the Minecraft menu!

I'll never understand projects like this that don't include screenshots

This one does have a screenshot, though, in the usual spot in the readme.

As someone unfamiliar with grub, the screenshot leaves me with more questions than answers
