Is there someone that can help me convert my Fedora install from GRUB
to systemd-boot and actually get it where kernel updates won't break it?
The reason is that my MS Surface GO does not work with GRUB for some reason. Probably a
non-standard UEFI implementation but I both found this to be the case personally and
google seem to confirm this. One proposed solution is to use systemd-boot, which I have
semi-successfully done.
Have you actually reported a bug against grub2 to see if it can be
fixed rather than assuming it's "a non-standard UEFI implementation"
because the thing with firmwares is is wide interpretation of the
standards ;-) it might be a more straight forward option than the
other alternative.

more complicated than necessary including the very fragile environment block[1]
