From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Good question! There's a few reasons, I guess:
All boils down to my enjoyment of doing weird nerdy things though, ultimately. =)
Using systemd-boot with the shim is definitely doable, you just have to name the systemd-boot loader as grubx64.efi in the EFI/BOOT directory. After that, you just need to sign any dkms modules with a key imported into MOK and register the hash of systemd-boot with MOK
