Neither me.
But after I did the Magic SysRq key it helped me switch of instantly, and I didn’t encounter this issue frequently after that, though I don’t know why!
Of course it is up to you, but grub has what I see as an issue, in some cases after some updates you have to run certain commands or you end up with unbootable system.
With the help of our friends here I could create a “hook” to run those commands automatically. Grub Hook to grub-install and grub-mkconfig? and it was working fine. (How would I guarantee I would not skip running those commands in case needed!)
But when Cassini, dracut came out, and systemd-boot became the default I converted as I said for a few reasons.
- systemd-boot is much faster in booting.
- systemd-boot is simpler and less prone to breaking.
- for me, I prefered to ditch grub as… well… they changed something that caused many systems unbootable, how would I guarantee something similar won’t happen again! Just my personal point of view. But Grub was my favourite because with BTRFS I could boot to earlier snapshots.
- I am on BTRFS for many reasons, snapshots I can revert to in case something breaks.
- Above all, I made the changes to feel that I am on the same page, as if I had a fresh install of Cassini, where the default is systemd-boot and with dracut.
Just to be clear, I am not with/against grub/systemd-boot. It is just my personal taste, my personal feelings of what is better for me.
