My point was, systemd is not the only init system, there are others. Just because it’s used by over 90% of the Linux distros out there, doesn’t mean it’s the only one, thus offering a solution that is tied to systemd is not exactly a solution. Grub already has it figured out, why complicate things further.
I have no desire to engage with an objectively incorrect view. However, you are the second person to mention refind which I am unfamiliar with and I’m intrigued.
systemd-boot is GRUB but without customization and fewer supported features (LLVM root etc). What more is there to say?
rEFInd is (as the name implies) an EFI bootloader that, on every boot, scans all attached storage devices for a bootable partition and presents all those found in a boot menu with a quite nice graphical theme
People are still using GRUB to dual boot? It’s not 2010 anymore. systemd-boot is the objectively superior choice.
I just unplug the exposed SATA cable from one ssd and plug it into the other SSD. I am the bootloader
Is systemd-boot a bootloader?
It’s a boot manager, technically.
How does it compare to refind?
does systemd-boot require a distro that runs systemd or is it just the name
It’s part of systemd, just for those that use it.
Good for people that use systemd… what about the rest of us…
All six of you Luddites? You figure it out.
You should really take a closer look at the Void user base…
Loud doesn’t mean numerous. Ubuntu, Mint, Debian, Fedora, Arch, and Manjaro take up almost all of the desktop install market.
Yeah, and it’s a big market… all 6% of it.

laughs in rEFInd
also systemd-boot is just worse GRUB, CMV
