I type `bcdedit /set "{bootmgr}" path \EFI\refind\refind_x64.efi` so many times a year that it's probably getting close to time to buy a macro keyboard so I can set it up on a macro.


I have rEFInd on a USB stick because I need to recover bootloaders on machines often enough. I commented on Lobsters recently the errors I've seen over the years.[0]

systemd-boot installs itself as bootx64.efi (or platform equivalent) if it doesn't already exist, and most motherboards will scan for it, which has reduced how often I need the USB stick.
