Because rEFInd exists
I don't think that answers my question
Because these issues don't happen with EFI?
grub supports efi?
And also seems to get borked, bricking people's computers every few months.
grub is fine if users manually update it, and know what they're doing. I used grub for years with only a couple of issues of which all were my own fault. But rEFInd has made this particular bit of fuckery unnecessary, and has been a godsend for "The Year of Linux" - which is really just another way of saying "Linux for non-techies."
I only ever had real issues with GRUB during OS installation, and they were my fault.
rEFInd doesn't break and works really well, though I'm no bootloader guru so take my opinion with a grain of salt
Good to know, I'll change when the dists start replacing grub with rEFInd, last time I changed bootloader was lilo -> grub from what I can find it was around 2013 Debian switched.
