I still don't get where all this obsession with minuscule changes to the boot procedure comes from. To me, one of the fundamental features of Unix is that you rarely have to boot at all. At work, I recently needed to equip a heavily used multi-user system with a 4.20.13 kernel because of the ugly af_alg local root exploit bug. The system had an uptime of over one year.
I could not care less if booting takes a few seconds more or has some screen flashing involved. It just does not matter.

(ie. A means for multiple installed distros to cooperate on configuring the same bootloader, regardless of what that bootloader is as long as it implements the spec.)

So your system still boots with the same kernel, even if there's a newest one installed on your system due to an upgrade, doesn't it?- Name your kernels/initrds/etc. after their version numbers and edit the configuration every time.
- Name your kernel something like /boot/vmlinuz and, whenever you do an upgrade, do something like cp vmlinuz vmlinuz-backup_boot; mv newkernel vmlinuz to change what the existing config points to.

Btw are the videos monetized? (in the sense of ads and such) Not that I claim you are making anything noteworthy from it, I know even midsize youtubers mostly rely on true sponsorships and donations to stay alive now.
