This looks interesting. It’s very new, so it will likely be a while before any OS would adopt it, but it definitely shows promise of a possible alternative to grub down the road
that’s awesome
the thing with systemd “taking over”anything also has to do with it offering options that actually lessens efforts
nice to see another option apart from systemd-boot
this is the kind of things the uBlue project would be interested in looking forward to
There’s also rEFInd, in case you didn’t know. What we actually need is a stable and usable efistub manager.
I actually like systemd-boot more than GRUB. I see it for 1 second, so I really don’t see the point of theming a bootloader but this is the world of freedom. Any preference is welcome.
Same. Been using systemd-boot for years now. 0 issues. With Grub I had my fair share of trouble. Nothing too critical, but just another thing to worry about.
There is Limine, which is something I use. And I use it with Arch, using systend.
You systemd haters are practically feral. WTF does this have to do with systemd?
not hating, just saying that now that systemd-boot is being seen as a “modern” successor to GRUB it would feel to people who don’t like systemd like “oh no they’re replacing another standard tool with their own thing”
but the thing is, a lot of systemd tools have been adopted because they actually made work easier for people maintaining projects
I’m using Universal Blue as a reference because of their position of adopting novelty tools like bootc even before Fedora
now, their newest project Dakota is going to use systemd-boot to provide a full chain of trust
maybe systemd-boot seemed like the best option, it’s not like sD devs forced them to adopt their option
so it’s nice to see ACTUAL good projects so the freedom to choose doesn’t always mean giving up to the “best/easier” option
It kind of is, though. You dont typically select your preboot environment, it’s selected for you.
