I am always tinkering with my setup. Isn’t that that normal for many linux users, especially Arch users?

I have for many years used GRUB, and have touched on using systemd-boot. I ditched systemd-boot rather quickly because I wanted to be able to list snapshots within GRUB and was happy with that until one day I couldn’t for the life of me get snapshots to restore upon loading one.

So I started looking around; and found Limine, limine-snapper-sync, and Liminie-mkinitcpio-hook

After finding those, I pulled out a spare machine to test doing a clean install with Limine and proceeded to install snapper, and the above packages for syncing, along with snap-pac. I found it quite easy to use. I even tested restoring a snapshot. It was flawless for my use case.

So I then converted my laptop from GRUB to limine, and then my gaming rig.

I am quite happy with it.

What bootloader do you use, and why?
