    Phoronix: Fedora Stakeholders Discuss Moving Away From Grubby

    It doesn't look like this proposal will end up panning out, but Fedora stakeholders are discussing the prospects of dropping Grubby in favor of just using grub2-mkconfig...

    Wouldn't it make most sense to go through with this but keep maintaining grubby in fedora's package repositories so that users who want to use other bootloaders with grubby can just install it on their own?

      My thoughts *exactly*.

        As somebody who knows nothing about either of these packages, his arguments sound... meh? "I like one more than the other, so we should all be using that" is what I'm getting from him.

          Yes please. Grubby really confuses me. It's the tool that's supposed to be used for adding custom kernels into the bootloader menu, but it's also supposed to not be run manually. Just using grub-mkconfig is much nicer, at least from a non-Fedorian point of view.

            mkconfig is better. I have to use it anyway whenever I need to change a GRUB option. grubby doesn't seem to be able to just rebuild in a simple way.
