So it started with an update to my openSUSE desktop and was greeted with a frozen plymouth screen forever. I tried reverting, and got my box to boot again so I knew it was an issue with this update. I don&rsquo;t update very often so it didn&rsquo;t do me much good to read the snapshot release notes because a lot had changed from the last time I updated and the latest.</p> https://connor.grout.xyz/posts/2025/08/migrating-from-grub2-to-systemd-boot/ Sat, 09 Aug 2025 20:41:52 -0400 https://connor.grout.xyz/posts/2025/08/migrating-from-grub2-to-systemd-boot/ <p>I noticed that openSUSE MicroOS (and Aeon which is my daily driver) started supporting systemd-boot in 2024. Because of this I&rsquo;ve read that systemd-boot is more efficient and faster than grub2 as a bootloader so I decided to migrate my Aeon RC1 to systemd-boot manually. It should be noted that when I installed my version grub2 was the only supported option, the newer RC of Aeon actually offers systemd-boot as an option during the installation process, but still defaults to grub2.</p>
