The GRUB menu gives you a variety of options about *how* you will boot Linux (which kernel, rescue modes, etc). UEFI will (usually) just give you an option for which drive to boot an OS from. For me that's the hard drive with Fedora installed, or the DVD-ROM drive with an install disc in it. For other people, that can be a Windows or Fedora choice. It would be possible to put a series of Linux booting options into UEFI, but it *might* be hard to work out a way that a Fedora installer could manage that for all the different PC hardware there is out there. UEFI is supposed to be a standard, but we all know how manufacturers love to to vary things for themselves. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
