Right, this is definitely interesting.

sdboot already offers some nice features for this.

bootctl --list: shows available boot menu entries
systemctl reboot --boot-loader-entry=ID: select which entry to boot

And I believe that there are also dbus equivalents of this.

If we want this we should consider either switching
to sdboot or make grub support:
https://systemd.io/BOOT_LOADER_INTERFACE/

And then this is something which could be an upstream GNOME feature
using the systemd DBUS APIs for this.

The only problem is that this requires someone to make time to
work on this...

I personally believe that for the Fedora workstation case
it makes sense to just switch to sdboot for EFI installs
giving us nice features like this; while at the same time
offering a much simpler code-base then grub, which is
good from a secureboot POV.

Regards,

Hans
