Are they embracing activity pub? I read it is just one guy in the community working in it.
And the vast majority of users are on GitHub, looking for code on there. Having activity pub on other forges will not change that big time:-(

Everybody needs just a small subset of that excel does, but everybody needs a different subset.
If you do not have all the features, most of your users will be missing something that is critical to their use case.
Maybe the Mac uses full disk encryption? Clonezilla will clone everything incl. the empty areas as the entire drive contains data indistinguishable from random bits in that case. Encrypted data also does not compress.
An update is only truly done once no remnants of the old code is in memory. Code can stick around in the form of binaries (restart the binaries), libraries (restart all binaries that use this library) and the kernel (reboot or use kexec).
One very simple way to make sure no old code sticks around is to reboot:-)
Starting the init system is the task of the root filesystem or initrd, with any boot loader. Systemd-boot happily boot into any init system just fine, just like any other bootloader that can boot Linux will boot into systemd just fine.
Systemd-boot boots kernel images (with efi-loader code embedded) and only offers a menu to pick which kernel file to load. What makes systemd-boot interesting is that it does nothing more than that: It does not read random filesystems, it does not implement random encryption things, does not parse image files and complex theme configuration, ... .
Build everything you use and ackage it in flatpak?
It's not even that hard to build your own gentoo-based runtimes and install stuff on top of that. Fedora does offer that, too, offering fatpaks based on their own fedora based runtime + rpms.
Works for me on arch linux. No hickups or anything and I am using it since it was first announced.
A good choice... another ist astronvim.
Astronvim covers the basic setup and their community repo with its language packs the specifics :-)
The problem is that you lose out on dev attention when moving away from github.
I moved my projects into github when placeholder projects literally containing a README with a link to the real repo only got way more interaction on github than in the real repository: More stars, more views, more issue reports and even more PRs (where the devs have obviously Cloned the repo from the actual repository but could not be arsed to push there as well).
If you want your project to be visible, it needs to be on github at this point in time:-(
After applying an update you need to make sure anything using the unmatched code is replaced by the patched code. A reliable way to do that is a reboot. Actually a reboot is pretty much the only reliable way to do that.
So I am not surprised that a distribution targeting end users asks for a reboot.
X11 probably has only a few years before development stops
Development has stopped. The only things that see updates still are those that are needed to run X11 apps on Wayland transparently.
Oh, the repository are easy to move.
The bug reports, PRs, wikis, CI/CD are stuck in github though. There is a huge lock in.
