Ditched any boot-loaders for my Linux laptop and started using UKI (Unified kernel image) with secure-boot to directly boot from UEFI.
UKI is the combination of a UEFI boot stub program like systemd-stub(7), a Linux kernel image, an initrd, and further resources in a single UEFI PE file.
this greatly reduce complexity of the boot processes and enhanced security specially, for laptops where there’s higher chance of theft or tampering of the device.
