I thought UEFI was supposed to be an improvement on boot choices, but it seems like the old GRUB that you could easily hand control its configuration was easier to deal with (for multiboot multi-OS PCs). I get the impression UEFI is only good for one OS installation on the system, perhaps giving you a boot in safe mode or from a re-install partition. But all from one OS that had been developed with those choices in mind. Maybe we need a UEFI probing program? One that finds all your potential installations, presents you with a list, asks you which you want to put into a boot list, and in what priority, and have it program the UEFI settings for us. Even on a single-boot system I've had the UEFI boot menu show me confusing choices: Fedora, a whole harddrive, and a particular harddrive partition (neither of the last two said anything more than the hardware details, no clue as to what trying to boot from those choices might do). That was on an installation on a brand new motherboard and blank hard drive, letting the installer run the installation without any customisations. I've never done a Windows installation on one of them to see if it was any less messy. I haven't installed Windows on anything for about 20 years, except for amusing myself by installing Win98 on an ancient PC to see if it actually worked. That was a trip down headache memory lane. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.71.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 28 15:37:28 UTC 2022 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
