And I'm guessing, as you mentioned, the wait will be longer than what
they're currently claiming. But we'll see. I know there was a lot of
controversy over the SystemD(?) boot loader when it came out but I never
ran into any problems with it. I think Caldera (one of my original
experiments with Linux) used something called "LILO" as the boot loader.

I don't know anything about Rust except I had to install something called
Clang (?) to get ZeroTier to work.

Honestly I had forgotten about LILO until I tried looking up Linux boot
loaders.
