Start using and efistub and never worry about boot loaders again!

systemd-boot is a reasonable compromise. i like it

The reality is that a bootloader will seemingly always be needed to account for difficult BIOS' and legacy setups (I'm looking at you, dual-booted Ubuntu 20.04).

Naah I just disable secure boot altogether, then you don't have to worry about all that TPM security theatre.

[-] Vash63@lemmy.world 21 points 8 months ago

You don't need secure boot to use EFI. It's better all around regardless of SB.

[-] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 4 points 8 months ago

Fair enough I don't miss the old BIOS.

Yeah, but Windows 11 needs it.

Can be disabled though. Easiest way - use Rufus when burning the USB.

Fun fact, you can also install Win11 in MBR mode, no UEFI needed whatsoever.
