not hating, just saying that now that systemd-boot is being seen as a “modern” successor to GRUB it would feel to people who don’t like systemd like “oh no they’re replacing another standard tool with their own thing”

but the thing is, a lot of systemd tools have been adopted because they actually made work easier for people maintaining projects

I’m using Universal Blue as a reference because of their position of adopting novelty tools like bootc even before Fedora

now, their newest project Dakota is going to use systemd-boot to provide a full chain of trust

maybe systemd-boot seemed like the best option, it’s not like sD devs forced them to adopt their option

so it’s nice to see ACTUAL good projects so the freedom to choose doesn’t always mean giving up to the “best/easier” option
