April 2025 (GLF-OS, Gaming-Linux-FR/GLF-OS) — Delivered cohesive system improvements focused on usability, branding, and maintainability. Key outcomes include: 1) Nix-Disk Manager integration and updates to latest releases, 2) branding refresh across GLF-OS visuals and login identity, 3) boot experience modernization with new GRUB/EFI/Plymouth assets, and 4) GNOME module cleanup removing a redundant GDM dconf setting. These changes improve user experience, brand consistency, and system maintainability, while leveraging Nix packaging, theming, boot customization, and GNOME configuration discipline.
