This is wrong on two levels: 1. The boot loader should process all UKIs from all installed OSes, hence the UKIs should be dropped in in a *shared* directory, not a private directory. It's the idea of the boot loader spec to make the drop-in dir shared between Linux OSes. 2. The UEFI spec defines clearly where OSes should put private stuff in the ESP if they have any (see https://uefi.org/registry for example, fedora is listed there btw). The ESP is very clearly defined both in terms for shared resources and for private resources. I am not sure what you intend to put in /boot? If it's UKIs then please notice that these are a single file per kernel/initrd combo, and that is inherently placed in a shared dir, you need nothing else really. > We can only really have one boot manager, especially with how broken > multiple ESPs on a system are. Why would you have multiple ESPs? I don't follow?
