Re: [Multiboot] Windows and Linux on Separate Disks

Interesting option, I don’t know this one. I’ve been installing rEFInd for years as it doesn’t take much configuration, heck even the default is too sane to change (it will list all bootables from all available drives). But I still choose to chainload to GRUB instead of letting rEFInd boot the kernel directly. This way, I can still pass options through /etc/default/grub and not adding more burden to rEFInd.

The beauty of rEFInd is that both of these options are usually a part of the default configuration: Options to chainload GRUB and reference the kernel directly; both are detected if present/valid and displayed automatically for Linux.

Regarding the manjaro-refind-installer package: The reason I mentioned that was due to its ability to choose which kernel to boot directly when using that rEFInd option. The only other way to make that choice is by editing /boot/refind_linux.conf manually, which may be inconvenient for some. Otherwise, I found nothing overly useful about the manjaro-refind-installer package; at least, nothing that the commandline refind-install cannot achieve.

Indeed, it fulfills what I call “sane defaults”.

Yea I tried that package and indeed that’s the only functionality that it provides. Not bad, but not significant as editing the config file is easy.

what i did was;
there’s a service in windows called Windows Time,it syncs the time.
it was on manual and i set it to automatic.
