sgvd I'd respectfully argue it does make sense though, depending upon one's aim. Whilst chain loading bootloaders may not be what is most technically efficient, in actual application, my experience with doing exactly that for years was vastly preferable. It goes BIOS post -> rEFInd bootloader -> GNU/Linux bootloader (then OS) OR Windows bootloader (then OS). And rEFInd is easily customizable for timeout to selection, cute icons, and fun theming. What a treat!
Instead, out of necessity, I am using my bootloaders now "as intended", and it's miserable. I begin my babysitting session by staring at my screen waiting for BIOS post; for some reason, those seconds feel like a lifetime. Once that happens, I frantically begin stabbing at F8, so that I can catch the precise moment to launch the ugly window below, and then finally select the bootloader I want. And I understand, my thinking is probably the opposite of how an elite power user might approach it. But that's just it — I'm not an elite power user. I'm just a garden-variety desktop end user who appreciates and values an easy, pleasant, friendly computing experience.
