November whispers tales of cold,
But open-source will never grow old.
I wield my shell, with vim I roam,
In this OS, I've found my home.

So here I waddle, proud and free,
November’s frosts can't bother me.
For in the dark and biting air,
Linux warmth is always there.

We just shipped some major refactoring in our initramfs, removing some of the oldest tech-debt in the distro and finally making it possible to boot without first finding and unpacking the "initramfs-extra" archive!

This new unified-initramfs behaviour is now the default for most devices, and may lead to a slight boottime speedup!
