I am always tinkering with my setup. Isn't that that normal for many linux users, especially Arch users? I have for many years used GRUB, and have touched on using systemd-boot. I ditched systemd-boot rather quickly because I wanted to be able to list snapshots within GRUB and was happy with that until one day I couldn't for the life of me get snapshots to restore upon loading one. So I started looking around; and found Limine, limine-snapper-sync, and Liminie-mkinitcpio-hook After finding those, I pulled out a spare machine to test doing a clean install with Limine and proceeded to install snapper, and the above packages for syncing, along with snap-pac. I found it quite easy to use. I even tested restoring a snapshot. It was flawless for my use case. So I then converted my laptop from GRUB to limine, and then my gaming rig. I am quite happy with it. What bootloader do you use, and why? |

Switched from systemd-boot to Limine. I dual boot with Windows and Limine just handles having Windows on a separate drive much better...just auto-detects Windows EFI partition and bootloader and chucks it in the menu. |
