If you already have a computer with multiple Linux distributions installed in EFI-mode, then you can skip to the section for installing Refind. This article describes how we can create a multi-boot system using EFI boot, and use Refind to switch between systems. If you have a desktop or laptop that was manufactured in the last 10 years, then it comes with EFI, and there is absolutely no reason to be using GRUB. GRUB is the default on all major Linux distributions in order to keep compatibility with older computers that don’t have EFI.
Many years later, I’m often surprised by how few people are aware of it, and how many people still struggle with GRUB for booting their Linux systems. I came across rEFInd five years ago, and it was one of those things that solved a lot of headaches for me.
If you use GRUB for booting multiple distributions and have never heard of rEFInd then this article is for you. This article is for people who dual-boot Linux with Windows, or boot multiple Linux distributions.
