+## systemd-boot
+
+Systemd-boot started with just support for UEFI which means the code base is much smaller when compared to GRUB which has a ton of code to work with different types of drives that have been released in the last decade. Pop!_OS has been using it since the 18.04 LTS release and I have  been using it as my go to boot manager ever since. 
+
+## efibootmgr
+
+This command allows us to edit the EFI variables though EFISTUB, the [Arch Wiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/EFISTUB#Using_UEFI_directly) has a really good selection about using `efibootmgr`. Here is my output as an example since I will be using the output in the next section:
+
+```
+BootNext: 0001
+BootCurrent: 0001
+Timeout: 2 seconds
+BootOrder: 0001,000A,0002,0006,0000
+Boot0000* UiApp
+Boot0001* Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS
+Boot0002* WDC WDS120G2G0B-00EPW0 
+Boot0006* WDC WDS100T2B0C-00PXH0 
+Boot000A* Linux Boot Manager
+```
+
+Now you may not have the "BootNext:" option if you haven't used `efibootmgr` before.
+
+## Desktop files
+
+You can make your own desktop file and for system-wide you would put them in `/usr/share/applications/` but if you want them just for your user you can use `~/.local/share/applications/`. We can make .desktop files for these boot entries to set them as the next boot target but once you reboot again it reverts to using "BootOrder" order instead. 
+
+This is my file for booting Arch on the next reboot:
+
+```
+[Desktop Entry]
+Encoding=UTF-8
+Version=1.0
+Type=Application
+Terminal=false
+Exec=sh -c "pkexec efibootmgr -n 000A"
+Name=Boot to Arch
+Icon=/home/aaronh/Documents/archlinux-icon.svg
+```
+
+and this is my file for booting Pop!_OS on the next boot:
+
+```
+[Desktop Entry]
+Encoding=UTF-8
+Version=1.0
+Type=Application
+Terminal=false
+Exec=sh -c "pkexec efibootmgr -n 0001"
+Name=Boot to Pop!_OS
+Icon=/home/aaronh/Documents/pop_icon.svg
+```
