A boot loader.
This is one of the “big” boot loaders. I can’t fathom it (since it’s GNU), so I expect a distribution to be magic with it.
When GRUB breaks, I use boot-repair.

https://www.joonet.de/lilo/
A boot loader, generally considered less used and less featureful than GRUB.
Although I had used LILO quite a lot in the past, and was doing some interesting things with it, like having multiboots with DOS and rearranging partitions to hide some or change what was primary, I tend to not use a bootloader like that anymore. I expect a distribution to be magical regarding a boot loader.
- LILO = Linux Loader

When LILO breaks, I use boot-repair.

A web browser which is essentially a fork of Firefox. Pale Moon keeps the simpler UI before the astonishingly terrible changes Firefox made.
A very good browser. Newer addons targeting the latest Firefox which are addicted to its new interface will not work with Pale Moon, since Pale Moon lacks that interface. Older addons or proper UI-agnostic addons will work fine.
