Fedora 38 I arrive this April, and after a new release, the next one begins to be prepared. Like Ubuntu, it gives us the new versions after a GNOME update, and the next one will arrive around October. By that time, the team Fedora He is debating the changes he has to make, and among them there is one that I think will not leave anyone indifferent, especially if they have ever had a fight with the boot.
The change in question, which at the moment does not happen of proposal, is that Fedora 39 could do a clean install using systemd boot on EFI platforms. Currently, Fedora uses by default the bootloader known as GRUB, and that is the one can give problems, although lately I'm only reading failures if dual boot (dualboot) is used with Windows and depends on which distributions. If the proposal is ultimately confirmed, Fedora 39 would have the option of not using GRUB in EFI.
Fedora 39 will arrive in late 2023
Right now, the systemd boot option is included in Fedora, but you have to roll up your sleeves and make manual changes. The change would be for make it easy to install the operating system to boot with systemd; the option with GRUB would not go away. In a way, it is somewhat reminiscent of installing Arch Linux manually or using a script like archinstall, saving the distances that, in reality, are very long. If I mention it, it is because in both cases a way is offered to facilitate procedures that can already be done, but that are only within the reach of experienced users.
The 39th of this distribution with a hat name will arrive in october, but there is no confirmed date. Unlike Ubuntu, this project releases new versions of its operating system when everything is ready, and delays are not ruled out. What is certain is that it will arrive with GNOME 45.

I have been using Grub for many years and it has never given me any problems; I do not understand why they say that it gives problems when you have dual boot, I have used it for more than a decade with 8 operating systems (or even more) including Windows and I have never had problems.
Yeah, but the world doesn't revolve around you, the fact that you haven't had problems with grub doesn't mean that there aren't, everyone knows the problems it causes, I've only had them particularly when I've done it. had in dualboot with windows, in dualboot with other distros zero problems, but problems in dualboot with windows a lot of people have or have had.
Well, if fedora is the one who considers it, then it will be like that in the future in all Linux Distros, just like it happened with systemd, whether many like it or not, the one who runs the Linux world is Red hat.
