Is there a wiki/guide/instructions how to add KDE Linux to other distro's bootloader?

Hi,

I’m having a problem adding KDE Linux to my GRUB on another distro. Is there a guide how to do it as it seems different to how I added other distros.

For reference:

/etc/grub.d/40_custom

#!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0



menuentry "KDE Linux" {
    insmod part_gpt
    insmod fat
    search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root F424-E10B
    chainloader /EFI/systemd/systemd-bootx64.efi
}

Doesn’t work.

Any ideas? Trying to make it more convenient than switching boot disk option in bios.
Adding other distros to KDE bootloader (systemd-boot?) could work but I prefer the other way round.

Many thanks.

I don’t think there’s any existing documentation for this. KDE Linux doesn’t use GRUB; it uses systemd-boot, so you’ll have to basically shim that into your GRUB-based setup.

If you figure it out, please do feel free to document it at KDE Linux - KDE Community Wiki!

This is one of the concerns holding me from installing it to one of my partitions, but it seems it’s possible, although requiring some effort after installing KDE Linux, as Claude thinks. :wink:
I can see /usr/lib/modules/6.17.2-arch1-1/vmlinuz in the live system, but it seems initrd is created dynamically (after installation).
Perhaps GRUB menu entry of an Arch-based distro may also give some idea in creating a manual entry of KDE Linux.
