Start using and efistub and never worry about boot loaders again!

[-] vox@sopuli.xyz 32 points 2 years ago

systemd-boot is a reasonable compromise. i like it

[-] pryre@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

The reality is that a bootloader will seemingly always be needed to account for difficult BIOS' and legacy setups (I'm looking at you, dual-booted Ubuntu 20.04).

Naah I just disable secure boot altogether, then you don't have to worry about all that TPM security theatre.

[-] Vash63@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago

You don't need secure boot to use EFI. It's better all around regardless of SB.

[-] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

Fair enough I don't miss the old BIOS.

Yeah, but Windows 11 needs it.

Can be disabled though. Easiest way - use Rufus when burning the USB.

Fun fact, you can also install Win11 in MBR mode, no UEFI needed whatsoever.

  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
