Limine mumblings

So, along last year when Cachy started using limine as a bootloader, I got onboard, because I just like trying new things.

However, I am really liking how it is much cleaner and simpler than any of the other bootloaders. Probably everyone knows how flaky and temperamental editing grub config files are. I don’t typically need to edit the limine.conf, but I have..and it’s easy, readable, and doesn’t require any form of digestion after editing to be in effect.

This morning I added (by using easy to use utility, limine-scan) stanzas for booting other distros. This just saves me from failing to explicitly use the BIOS to choose what I wanted to boot, for those times when i forget and let the default boot happen. Every single one of them worked, which beats my trial-and-error on chaining bootloaders on most others.

I would heartily suggest folks try it.

Something to keep in mind, no real need for me to try right now, thanks

Yep, if it isn’t broken, you don’t need to fix it. Just wanted to post it as way of saying, there is a better way for next time or if you’re having any issues.
