    Systemd-boot didn’t start as part of systemd, it used to be gummiboot (joke in German, it’s what those little rubber inflatible boats are called).

    Systemd absorbed and integrated it in 2015.

    It did start at RedHat with Kay Sievers and Harald Hoyer, which makes it unsurprising it was absorbed.

    I’ve been transitioning to it as my default choice, I’ve never liked grub2, so I defaulted to syslinux for a long time, but lately systemd-boot is even less of a hassle.
