How do you switch from grub bls to systemd boot?

They changed bootloader so quickly multiple times, and yast doesn’t work with systemd bootloader.
Are there any good ways to do it?

@lopultahiisi use sdbootutil (for systemd-boot) or update-bootloader

Or you want to change? If on grub2-bls, leave as is?

I’ll try that. I want to change yes, i am told grub-bls is mostly straight up worse than systemd-boot.

@lopultahiisi I’ve not had an issue with grub2-bls, I had it setup on dual boot, worked fine pressing the BIOS boot key to get to Windows. Not as configurable as systemd-boot or grub2-efi with respect to options. Mosts of my systems are single boot, if it boots I’m happy :wink: It (boot menu) normally gets hidden, likewise plymouth is gone.

migrated from grub2-bls to systemd-boot with:

sudo zypper in systemd-boot
Edit /etc/sysconfig/bootloader and set: LOADER_TYPE="systemd-boot"
sudo update-bootloader --reinit
reboot

encrypted disk + secure boot still works

I tried a few in a vm, then this one on my machine. Worked splendid.
