came back to fedora after the release of fedora 41 from arch linux, arch kept having issues and bugs related to its release model of latest things always. anyway i was using limine bootloader and i’d still like to use it as it was an amazing bootloader. it was so simple to use. way simpler than grub or even systemd-boot
Looks easy to switch to it if you’re already EFI booting: copy limine’s EFI to EFI boot partition, edit limine’s conf to boot Fedora somehow (kernel-direct or shim EFI?), and done.
I imagine with no upstream limine support on Fedora, any updates on Fedora’s end could require manual-intervention with limine’s conf (without your own custom scripts/hooks to auto do it; Fedora’s likely expect GRUB or systemd-boot).
My opinion is that there’s no way I’d mess with any part of Fedora’s boot, and don’t believe limine to offer any kind of worthwhile benefit to want to look any deeper at how Fedora hooks their stuff up (good luck with kernel or bootloader updates, anything akmods, and hopefully not even trying to involve SB this early )
I boot in less than 10 seconds from cold to GDM log-in with GRUB no problem.
changing anything that has to do with kernel parameters or anything else was just a matter of changing the config file and saving before exiting the file. on grub I gotta run a command that I just cannot memorize to save the new config.
You could use the grubby command to change kernel parameters (rather easy to remember ), which is there to prevent the user to make mistakes when editing the config files directly.
With GRUB on Fedora I add boot options like this (UEFI and Legacy), and they seemingly just-apply to updates and reboots no problem forget-and-set style:
