[Bug 1526824] Re: boot on uefi directly instead of grub

[Steve Langasek]

This request is inconsistent with the overall design of Ubuntu's boot
handling.

And I disagree with the assertion that this is error-prone.  Use of GRUB
makes Ubuntu boot more error-resistant.

Title:
  boot on uefi directly instead of grub

Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Right now even on modern systems with UEFI, Ubuntu is booted via grub2
  bootloader. This is slow, error-prone and completely unnecessary.
  Would be much better and faster to make GNU/Linux kernel bootable
  directly by UEFI firmware. This would also simplify dual-boot setups.

  An example of how to pass kernel command-line parameters is shown in:
