I’m not convinced that this is actually simpler. I’m also confused because Red Hat already was trying to simplify booting with systemd-boot. Are they no longer happy with their existing approach?

Speaking of systemd boot, I tried it on a recent install, and my system only booted properly about 20% of the time. I switched back to grub, and it's been rock solid since.

I'd be curious what the issue was.

I've used grub for years but am curious about systemd-boot as it's supposed to be far simpler/easier.
