I recently moved to sdboot and prefer its simplicity compared to grub. However they still missed the mark a bit, its folder tree on the ESP is a mess.
I’ll look into this but prefer kernels managed automatically by apt/dnf etc.
- creshal 2y agosd-boot on Debian 12+ is mostly self-configuring, and the folder structure is just one folder? Not sure what's messy about that.
- mixmastamyk 2y agoOn fedora it is 10+. Do a tree command on the efi partition.
- creshal 2y agoFedora and other Redhat-related distributions are an exercise in masochism regardless of the bootloader choice.
- lproven 2y agoYou are not clear; by "sdboot" do you mean systemd-boot? The abbreviation is ambiguous. There are other bootloaders called "sdboot" such as this one: https://sourceforge.net/projects/sdboot/ https://sourceforge.net/projects/sdboot/ And this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/WiiHacks/comments/glx4dt/sdboot_everything_there_is_to_know/ https://www.reddit.com/r/WiiHacks/comments/glx4dt/sdboot_eve... Please try to avoid ambiguous abbreviations. If you do mean systemd-boot you only saved 5 letters and could mean at least 3 different tools, or maybe more.
- mixmastamyk 2y agoYes, sorry when installing in fedora you have to pass the string sdboot to the kernel at boot. Still kinda experimental.
