What the absolute fuck is canonical doing?!??! “In 26.10, we’d like to propose removing the following features from signed GRUB builds: Filesystems Remove btrfs, hfsplus, xfs, zfs Retain ext4, fat, iso9660 (and squashfs for snaps) Image formats: Remove jpeg, png Retain none We do not use images, but using that in your grub.cfg locally is a massive security risk (if even still allowed) Partition tables: Remove part_apple Retain part_gpt and part_msod Support for LVM Support for md-raid; except raid1. Support for LUKS-encrypted disks In effect systems must boot with /boot on a raw ext4 partition (whether a separate or inside of /); on GPT or MBR disks. This means for example, that an encrypted system must use an ext4 /boot partition; it is no longer possible to encrypt the /boot partition. Likewise a system on ZFS, XFS, BTRFS must use an ext4 /boot partition.”

Glad I only dabbled in Ubuntu. Once they pivoted to Snap packages I stopped dabbling. Tho I do onboard my elders to Mint still when they tell me they are being forced to windows 11. I really like Fedora for servers but I mostly just use Debian for desktop with my own ansible playbook now. I blow the system away and start over about once a year. I hear Nix and Guix are the to go now.

Fedora is OOTB excellence. Especially for a prototype of Redhat.
