And also seems to get borked, bricking people’s computers every few months.

grub is fine if users manually update it, and know what they’re doing. I used grub for years with only a couple of issues of which all were my own fault. But rEFInd has made this particular bit of fuckery unnecessary, and has been a godsend for β€œThe Year of Linux” - which is really just another way of saying β€œLinux for non-techies.”

rEFInd doesn’t break and works really well, though I’m no bootloader guru so take my opinion with a grain of salt
