    So all year long on Phoronix I read nothing but people complaining about GRUB and raving about how fantastic systemd-boot is, and now that a distro adds support, it's not good? Please help me understand.

    Yes it works with FDE.

    It's only a boot manager... The only things that might not be working (yet) are ones explicitly dependant on grub's scripts (they are few and with the bootloader specs, that grub supports too, adding sdboot support actually means supporting grub too, no duplicated work). Decryption happens in initramfs so it will work without doing anything special.

    See this article how to set it up: https://en.opensuse.org/Systemd-boot , second part with BTRFS snapshots. TLDR: it works out of the box using official repositories.
    I have tried it some time ago, there are still rough edges remaining, such as incorrect or missing default boot snapshot and lack of submenus for snapshots. So if there are many of them it won't be a nice sd-boot menu.

    Great news! I've tried switching my installation of TW to systemd-boot a just a few weeks ago, but it was so fiddly I reverted back soon after. I've been using systemd-boot on my Gentoo box for years now, and I find the overall experience with it much more pleasant that GRUB.

    It's likely that's one reason why it's just experimental now. As far as coding goes, supporting it should not be any harder than the current support: each time snapper creates a backup, it should drop an extra config file in a single place. Each time it removes a backup, it must remove the corresponding single config file.
