Now that I’ve figured out refind I’m using it for all installations. Seems to play nice with everything.

From here:

• Although rEFInd is, first and foremost, a tool for launching EFI-based OSes, rEFInd is one of the few EFI boot programs that can redirect the boot process to BIOS-based OSes.

I’m about to install Manjaro XFCE to multiboot on grub with Win10, Ubuntu and Mint. So far the other 3 have worked well together on grub, even with Win10 updates. So I’ll soon find out what happens when I add Manjaro.

They can be multiboot friendly if you know what you are doing. Many distros have difficulty detecting Manjaro, but Manjaro can detect most other distros, so use Manjaros grub for dual booting.
