I'm trying out Sailfish -- it has a big spinning loading icon that won't go away after the tutorial lol. Lots of work to do in this space, should be fun!
Great job on this, @megous !
I got this too on the first SFOS boot. Second and subsequent times thru it functioned as expected.
For me it's a boot loop and if I'm lucky after 5m+ it will go back to the spinning blue circle. At that time I can pulley down the notification tray (nothing works), adjust the volume, and then after ~5m more it'll lock on the circle and hard reboot. (example of "boot stuck": https://youtu.be/YZ_IshYJDa0)

EDIT: I finished the tutorial, and Sailfish seems to work for me, so I'm not sure what the loading icon is about, I don't see it.
Anyway, their terminal app is the best I've seen so far! Other terminal apps on other distros make essential symbols hard to access. Not so the sailfish terminal app. | > _ = / all easily accessible. That looks like a work of someone who actually uses the app.
Looks like there's a way to skip it!

Hey @megous, pursuant to the SFOS "oops! all spinning circles" above is there some btrfs magic now or possible in future to store the original volumes "untouched" so that one could "reset" the distro? I'll have to dd the image again now, so if there's a handy way of setting it back to stock from the image that would be super cool.
A few more small thoughts -- would a battery indicator be something that could be added?
Also Mobian doesn't boot at all (https://youtu.be/hjDwVmqXw5I).
