So please contribute to the grub2 repo a pull request that meets your |
2 |
requirements rather than complain about it. You are also free to maintain |
3 |
any package you want in a custom overlay in gentoo that packages those |
4 |
requirements. Free software is about preventing lock in and empowering the |
5 |
user. You have that power nor are you locked in. So use it. |
6 |
|
7 |
You are quickly making yourself to be an example of the type of user that |
8 |
the free software community does NOT recognize or support. |
9 |
|
10 |
You can make grub2 do whatever you want. So please do or ask for help in |
11 |
that endeavor, not complaining about mythical Microsoft things. |
