weywot VS refind-theme-regular

WeyWot's GitHub has many great guides ( https://github.com/spxak1/weywot )

So you press F9 or F12 and boot from the bios selection ? No problems that is the easiest method, and recommended, but if your having problems you could try this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4idr6sXSue0&list=PLS_d8s-cLQwWWLePiVWve1X-_YP6YrwRU&index=10 this is rEFInd easy to setup and maybe it will solve your boot problem, then you will know it is something to do with the Bios boot, and lastly, probably the most difficult duel boot is editing the systemd bootloader of Pop_OS https://github.com/spxak1/weywot/blob/main/Pop_OS_Dual_Boot.md approach with caution, you could lose the ability to boot either system if you make a mistake.

I currently am trying to dual boot pop os and windows. I have them in separate drives. Yesterday I was following the steps provided by this GitHub https://github.com/spxak1/weywot/blob/main/Pop_OS_Dual_Boot.md. After running windows though the systemd option disappeared from my boot menu. I booted into a live disk to try and see if I could find the drive but only my drive with windows shows up. What do I do?

Refer this

Don’t throw windows out, it can be useful, I’d recommend dual booting. For the distro, I’d go with Fedora (Workstation) or PopOS. Fedora’s hard to break and reliable as well as easy to dual boot (guide) while PopOS is Ubuntu based so it can draw from Ubuntu’s giant popularity, but it’s not the easiest to dual boot (guide)

Using a more sophisticated method, like ed2k is preferred if you can. There is also this.

In many guides and other post I see people copying the EFI Windows folder similar to this github on a boot partition of approximately 1GB. But the arch wiki recommends installing the package ed2k and mapping a script to boot directly from the Windows EFI.

My boot manager is refind (not grub), and the theme is refind-theme-regular

You can have multiple boot-loader partitions and it will detect them all without any additional setup from user. So if you are dual booting and accidentally formatted boot-loader for one operating system the other will still work. This happened lot of times for me. I accidentally deleted windows option when reinstalling linux a lot. You can also boot from usb directly from refind within needing to go into bios. You also mentioned config file for systemd being simple. Refind also has config file similar to that. And it has theming. I use this theme https://github.com/bobafetthotmail/refind-theme-regular

I actually managed to get it to work both ways: I can boot each OS in a VM from the other. A handful of scripts inside each detect the VM and make some changes appropriately (like disabling certain startup apps and services that I already have in the host OS, disabling some fancy graphics that like to glitch out in VMs, etc.). And because I like to over-complicate things, I set up static IPv4s, so I can for example connect to Linux with the same IP, not matter if it's in a VM or running on bare metal.

Also, regarding hating GRUB: take a look at rEFInd. The themes are way better [0] and it can autodetect operating systems so not only is it harder to break your system with a bad config, it'll detect USB boot devices as well so you don't have to mash F11 or whatever if you need to boot from one. It also has mouse support and (in theory) also touchscreen.

Finally I installed a simple minimal theme https://github.com/bobafetthotmail/refind-theme-regular and added the OpenCore logo to the icons folder.

I use this one.

For me, Refind it's the best bootloader for dual boot. With a theme like this it's quite pretty : https://github.com/bobafetthotmail/refind-theme-regular

I use this rEFInd theme and convert them into .icns

I would like to switch from grub to rEFInd because it has this specific theme but my main concern is: will it have an option for booting into snapshots? is a handy feature with something breaks on a update but if not that's fine!

If you want to theme refind, I suggest this beautiful theme which has distro icons for all operating systems: https://github.com/bobafetthotmail/refind-theme-regular
