  • What is the shortest and the most user-friendly way to install fedora with sway along with systemd-boot?
    That being said, if you follow the instructions on the Arch wiki, you can probably install/enable systemd-boot then delete grub when you're done. I've switched a system from grub to systemd-boot and I remember it being pretty easy using the bootctl command. Source: 5 months ago
  • I've been stupid (fs conversion)
    In my case I'm using systemd-boot with unified kernel images that you can generate with dracut (there is a link in there). Source: 11 months ago
  • Is it possible to build nvidia drivers into the kernel now?
    I don't think there's anyway around using a bootloader. There are more minimalistic options compared to grub (grub2), like systemd-boot https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/systemd-boot. Source: about 1 year ago
  • dual booting menu with systemd
    Arch wiki page on just systemd specifically. Source: about 1 year ago
