Wondering why Fedora creates both /boot and /boot/efi? Learn what each one does, how they work together, and why Fedora's partition layout differs from Ubuntu.

Eine Frage in die große Runde:
Es geistern im Internet Videos, Berichte, Beiträge etc. herum, dass man nach dem 24. Juni 2026 #Linux nicht mehr auf Systemen mit (U)EFI starten oder installieren kann, da an diesem Tag ein von #Microsoft herausgegebenes und verwaltetes Zertifikat abläuft. Dies hat wohl irgendwie mit #SecureBoot zu tun.
Was ist an diesem Szenario tatsächlich dran, wie könnten die Auswirkungen sein, und falls das tatsächlich zutreffend ist, wie kann man dadurch entstehende Probleme lösen? -
What's the correct efibootmgr command to rename an entry?
It's not "efibootmgr -b 7 -L newName" as every website (and LLM) states (I've a feeling most of these "blogposts" are just LLM generated too). That just does nothing...

After way too many attempts, I finally got a custom GRUB2 EFI bootloader built with Buildroot showing a splash image at boot on real hardware 🎉
The secret? insmod gfxterm_background + font in the right path.
Simple in theory, painful in practice 🤕

This week has been full of major improvements to my #Linux setup across my #ThinkPads. I now have:
1. Significantly faster boot times due to quicker #LUKS decryption by separating out #boot and #EFI into separate volumes.
2. Upgrade from #LUKS1 to #LUKS2 (while most of the rest of my setup)
3. Better visuals for LUKS passphrase prompts using (finally) #plymouthI couldn't have asked for more improvements in barely two days.

I was given a HP Stream 7 tablet yesterday, Originally it ran Windows 8 - Which must have been highly optimized for this. It only has 1gb ram, and 32gb storage. With an #Intel #Atom Z3235G quad core. So I tried to install #linux on it. The biggest frustration I'm having with it thou, is the #EFI only supports #32bit boot. And I've only found #Antix to actually install, but I can't get wifi to work, or sound. I think #Lubuntu might work but it fails at installing grub i386.

When you have workflows like mine it's unreasonable to have dozens of slow usb sticks ready to dd distributions on. It's cumbersome to index / manage so many slow devices. USB sticks also live much shorter than 2.5" SSD's here. I've had some working for years (mostly reads) And some fail in weeks after many writes, for me unreliable storage devices
Ventoy has become a vital tool ISO mangagement and booting for me, since I can dump bootable ISO''s of most OS's on SATA SSD's, structure the ISO's in logical directory flows and have a librarian oversight of them
I can mount the SSD via an USB3 tray and thus move hundreds of ISO's around without a fuzz. I use 2.5" SATA SSD's because they are large enough in physical dimensions to be handled easily and I can write and ID on them with a marker. They can also live for years of R/W operations without failing.
Ventoy can easily boot a variety ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI of OS's which are of various origin.
>> Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI filesWhen a ISO++ fails to boot, you need to make the coder(s) of Ventoy aware of it, and chances are that in the next update, scripts have been finetuned so Ventoy can handle that family of files also.
Ventoy is easy to use update run & maintain for the end user.

For days I've been trying to get the integrated #GPU on my #MacBook working on #Linux. But it doesn't show up anywhere in the system. It's like it is not there at all.
Turns out: it in fact isn't. If you boot anything other than #macOS the #EFI itself turns the integrated GPU off leaving only the dedicated GPU.
This little EFI program turns it back on again:
