I did try changing one to say Fedora 34 instead of just Fedora. 
Calling that "easy" might be a bit of a stretch.  It wasn't as
straightforward as you might hope (especially since there was more than
one entry, I need to remove the wrong one, customise the right one),
nor was it well explained.

I also discovered that on a PC with 6 SATA slots, that it was easy to
unplug a drive, forget which one it was plugged into, then find that
UEFI wants the drive in the same port as before.  Even on a system with
only one drive plugged in, it couldn't find it, it had to be where it
expected it to be.
