Seems there is a ever-growing list of Linux bootloaders. Which ones are not satisfactory and why.

I was very satisfied with the BSD bootloaders. Plus the kernels comply with the multiboot specification so it was possible to use other bootloaders. This way I could boot kernels from different BSD projects from the same USB stick using a single bootloader. I do not use GRUB.



Since you seem to like to experiment, have you ever heard of

Though that seems for older hardware, mostly. The one for current systems is in development. Anyways, on older hardware it enabled otherwise impossible things for me.
