Hey Brodie just a quick little note. When you're editing "40_custom" you'll notice the "exec tail" command in the second line and the comment further down. Technically your supposed to put any menu entries after the comment and the "exec tail" command then replaces the current shell with a "tail" and outputs everything in this same file starting from the third line. Of course your additions start at the third line so everything works fine anyway. Just thought I'd point out to some that might follow this and possibly get confused about why, when you put your changes before the comment lines, things still worked. This works because the mkgrubconfig executes the files in "/etc/grub.d" and uses the output from them to create the file "/boot/grub/grub.cfg".
I would love to see more bootloader videos. One thing that some distros have trouble with out of the box is mixing BTRFS subvolumes and disk encryption. A video on that would be great.
Hi Brodie! Does the systemd-boot able to draw a picture after the OS selected? I've muted any stdout during the OS boot but there is a vendor logo on the screen.
I am currently running a unified kernel. I would like to see a security comparison between using a bootloader and a unified kernel and other metrics such as boot time
So, with two different SSD, each one with a different Linux distribuiton (Red Hat and Ubuntu) already installed, is that possible to manual create a menu entry to choose between those installed systems ?
One thing I can't stand or understand is..... Different Linux ISO's will insert their individual name in the boot menu. For example Arco, Red Hat , Manjaro - But many Ubuntu Deriviatives - such as Mate / Budgie / Kubuntu - Just leave the boot menu name as Ubuntu. Terribly confusing if you're a Distro Hopper like me AND - you have five hard drives. I wish there were an easier way to deal with this.
I think this is an appropriate place to ask for help with Grub. How can use the "set root=" command for the SSD disk? I know how to do it with normal disk names such that "/dev/sdb2" becomes "set root=(hd1,2)". But how do I define the disk located at "/dev/nvme0n1p6"? I have been trying everything, but still can't find the solution. This has been going on for several years now...
Ohhh, I modified the grub.cfg file itself and made my laptop unable to boot in the morning of a schoolday. Had to work with Windows for the rest of the day. Guess I deserved that after doing something stupid haha

"anyone using systemD probably already know how this works" Bold of you to assume I know anything that's going on with my OS
I had used rEFInd for quite a while - entry auto detection was a pretty nice feature. And that theming!
Now I'm on pure efistub lol
Adjusting kernel params is painful with existing, but I guess you can make a script
You can't deny that basically your favorite word is "actually". :D
uhm aktchually
true though

Thanks! Very helpful.😊

rEFInd is a solid bootloader.

May i ask you to the what is your desktop environment at what you're talking about grub customization scene?

Mr. How can I I Boot Two Linux simultaneously At the Same Time And acces The secondary Disk With SSh !
I think this is an appropriate place to ask for help with Grub.
How can use the "set root=" command for the SSD disk?

But how do I define the disk located at "/dev/nvme0n1p6"? I have been trying everything, but still can't find the solution. This has been going on for several years now...
Well, I know practically nothing about this, but can using the drive’s UUID work?
Ohhh, I modified the grub.cfg file itself and made my laptop unable to boot in the morning of a schoolday. Had to work with Windows for the rest of the day. Guess I deserved that after doing something stupid haha
Could the suggestion to modify the grub.cfg be so that if something goes wrong you can just regenerate and overwrite the faulty config?
Mean while, Syslinux: "Literally just put them in it, the end."
Imagine your friends are boot loading on you like a bootloader!
do i need to create a loader directory cause i dont have a one
Yay!
Lmao the fact that i can actually play a tune
It goes back to the days of motherboard speakers
You should make a video about bedrock linux
I've considered doing a stream on it for a while
making entries in systemd boot is super easy
I prefer limine's configuration.
