aBundleOfFerrets,

Honestly, when I learned that rEFInd supports loading dxe modules natively I swapped and never looked back (NVMe boot drives on ancient computers, my beloved)

mariusafa,

What I’m missing? Just do update-grub.

Arch moment

(no I will never forget that one time they borked the grub package and there was no notification of it in the newsfeed)

shadowintheday2,

I switched to systemd boot when that happened, and it’s been so smooth ever since

mexicancartel,

Untill there’s a bug in systemd-boot on arch…

shadowintheday2,

It’s not exempt from happening; however, it rarely ever updates and has less complexity/functionality than grub, which makes it less prone to error happening (be it from the developers, or from the user like me trying to theme it :))

I just switched to Fedora and been happy with it for ~2 yrs

Now draw the rest of the owl.

dinckelman,

Whenever i need to use windows, i leave it on a separate drive, and then just point a rEFInd entry to it. It really frustrates me, that Windows just expects full advocacy over your hardware, and performs changes like this without any warning

I dualboot with separate efi partitions. Does it happen that windows fucks up anothr efi partition?

I thought it had been abandoned since 2003, but not at all!
It’s been abandoned since 2013.

Ah so its only been 10 years. Perfect. Probably why nothings broken?

A lot of things may have changed in ten years though. It’s good that nothing broke, but it’s not very reassuring.

No its not ideal.

taladar,

Seems familiar. Did you by any chance also not update the copy of grub in your EFI system partition since you installed it? Then you need to do that and afterwards everything works fine again.

While you are at it add a netboot.xyz EFI entry to fix that kind of stuff without a USB stick or your own network boot server.
