I found KeePassx while exploring replacing Firefox, and when looking at replacing web browser components. I wanted something cross-platform and open source.

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.
