It would be great to have a something like a "Open Multi-boot Native Interface", OMNI, to replace #GRUB.

- UEFI only
- Graphical
- Multi-kernel support

I'm asking to basically marry GRUB with #rEFInd, and bring things like multi-kernel or OCI support dead simple rather thant bound to the terminal.

Root MooseFeb 1

One full week under the keel running Alpine Linux on my primary workstation. Even set root on a ZFS mirror - simple to setup. First experience with rEFInd as well - I like it.

Sharp and snappy, just like the way I like my cars! Ha!

No new revelations compared to the first few weeks on the test workstation... I'm still tweaking some things for personalization as it happens but all good.

The Alpine repos are full of good stuff and are current/up2date in a practical manner.

The only flatpaks I've had to run are Waterfox, Signal Desktop and messing around with the new CoMaps Linux version (this exists - happy! happy! joy! joy!).

I'm going to migrate my Debian Bookworm servers to Alpine when I get around to the upgrades. I'll keep clients on Debian for the foreseeable future.

I'm not sure why I'm so excited about Alpine, it just feels like a breathe of fresh air! Modern and simple. Enjoying it.

Still playing with the Framework 12 laptops.

So yesterday evening, I installed Haiku. Strangely enough I had to install using the beta5 iso, as installing with the 3 latest nightly isos just failed 🤔
However, after the successful installation, upgrading to the latest nightly just worked fine 🤷‍♀️

The system is installed in UEFI mode in dual boot with Pop OS and using rEFInd as a boot manager.

Now some observation about Haiku on the Framework 12:
* While in the live environment during installation the trackpad works, once Haiku is installed and booted, it does not work 😪
* The WiFi is working contrary to the installation on my Thinkpad T450 😀

I drew this concept for a #BootLoader that could be used with various displays and would be #Accessible with keyboard/mouse/touchpad/touchscreen/gamepad/joystick/pen tablet/XR headset/smartwatch/other input devices. Should this be worked further into a #rEFInd or #GRUB theme?

Así receta corta de todo esto:

1. Install macOS, bigSur in my case
2. Create new partitions from macOS.
3. Install Ubuntu indicating that the boot will go on the root partition / not on the disk.
4. The system reboots directly into Ubuntu.
5. I installed rEFInd from deb package.
6. Now start the rEFInd and let me choose.
