If I ever wanted to switch to another boot manager, I'd seriously like
us to consider rEFInd: https://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/

It's a very nice boot manager that looks good and doesn't suck. And
purportedly is somewhat (if not fully) compatible with bls.

sd-boot is too barebones and unfriendly to use, which makes sense
since it was designed for non-interactive machines and not humans to
use.
