It's very new, so it will likely be a while before any OS would adopt it, but it definitely shows promise of a possible alternative to grub down the road
[–] fta@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 months ago (2 children) I just recently started using ventoy, which is awesome. Does this do something similar, but with more UI customization? permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Flatfire@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 months ago (1 child) Ventoy isn't the same. That's for booting live/installation media but doesn't typically replace your bootloader in the conventional sense. Or at least, that's not its intended purpose. This is intended to replace something like GRUB, the default Linux bootloader for most distributions. It lets you configure the various options or version of a kernel you might like to load, as well as handling the boot options for other operating systems that might be installed. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] fta@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 months ago Ah, gotcha.
