Hi Chris, thanks a lot for the patch! That's the first screen that
people are confronted with but we never took the time to think much
about it so I think it's a very good initiative.

We had a quick chat about it on tails-ux and we're now proposing to have
the following labels on the screen:

            Boot Menu


        Tails
        Tails (failsafe)


If you're fine with that, could you adjust your patch accordingly?

I created https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/10178 to track this.
