The alternative being running
os-prober
at boottime, on every boot.Currently, we set UUID using
os-prober
whenever we remakegrub.cfg
, analogous to that would be registering web-server static IPs with a DNS, which provides the domain name aliases (we don't need to see UUID in the GRUB menu right? We see the OS names).An analogy to the alternative would be to ask all devices on the internet to send their usage methods everytime you try to look for another site.
