Open Source Everything has moved to GitLab (gitlab.com)

TL;DR: I accidentally deleted the old repository with 107 stars, and have moved the project to GitLab because GitHub requires a paid account to recover deleted repositories. I take full responsibility for this, it was an extremely stupid mistake on my part. I deeply apologize for the inconvenience. I understand if this damages the trust in the project.

I appreciate all the support you all have given towards the project, it truly means a lot to me! For those of you who bookmarked the repo, please update it to the new GitLab page which will now be actively maintained.

If you don't know what Open Source Everything is, see my original post. It's my own curated list of open source software.

Update: GitHub was able to restore the repository! Special thanks to Seve from GitHub Support for bending the rules a bit. GitLab will still be the primary place where the repository is hosted.

The recommended distro section will get overhauled, as it doesn't quite meet my standards. I personally don't like Linux Mint because Cinnamon is less than what I would like it to be, but it is getting a makeover.

Bitwarden was heavily considered as a password manager, and it is a great option, but they make you pay to use certain features (hardware security keys, etc.) that KeePassXC and others offer for free. Hence, KeePassXC is a better option and Bitwarden didn't make the cut.

Good questions! Thanks for taking a look!
