• Grub is for Assholes

    Mention grub to me and I'll spit in your ugly face.

    For me, and for all other TRUE GNU/Linux users, there
    is only Syslinux:

    https://www.syslinux.org/

    Syslinux can boot any fucking thing and it can boot them
    all with tremendous simplicity and ease.

    Only a fucking distro lackey would not could bootstrap his
    asshole off the toilet bowl would ever use Grub.

    Yeah, the maintainers of Arch Linux are "fucking distro lackeys".

    Sheddex:

    I have recently finished installing Arch and run it alongside
    Windows 10. I installed syslinux to be able to properly choose the OS on
    startup.

    I followed the guide on the wiki to setup graphical boot managing
    (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sy … _boot_menu) and it's working
    fantastically so far. I can choose arch and archfallback and it will boot.

    Now, I am trying to also include Windows.

    A day later:

    Sheddex:

    I reverted back to GRUB and it's working now, no reason to use syslinux
    then.

    Your reasoning is excellent -- it's only your basic assumptions that are wrong.
