Well…

I just installed Pop_OS which uses systemd-boot to boot instead of grub. I gotta say…its one of the areas I really like systemd over the legacy grub bootloader.

systemd-boot is so much easier to work with than grub.

Definately agree. For a very long time I have been one of those “what problems is systemd solving over init/upstart”

This is 1000% one of them. In my setup my EFI paritions are totally separate. So theres no risk as well as Pop_OS bungling my windows boot loader and vice versa. I was very happy with this change.
