alt Hacker NewsHave they replaced it with grub-rs yet?
On a more serious note, grub is ancient bloatware, it is way overcomplicated for what it does, it's asking to be replaced by systemd-boot distro-wide.
Look at Apple and Microsoft's bootloaders, they are dead simple and have barely changed in 20 years, it makes you wonder how the hell grub was even conceived. It has config files for config files.
grub tries to do the kitchen sink. But we live in a UEFI world now. Boot is simple. None of that is necessary anymore.

Grub does suck yes. The only boot loader on uefi I like is refind https://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/
I'd like a better boot manager but I sure as hell do not want systemd cancer to spread any further. Especially not after Poettering has started a remote attestation company.

I'm wondering how much was interop with trying to boot multiple operating systems off the same disk?
