    Could you add Android x86 entry (Bliss OS, Phoenix OS and similar) to Grub2Win?
    Could you make it easier to add operating systems (other than Ubuntu and the popular ones) that are not on the list?

    Hi damjan, it's simple to add other distributions, even Android-x86 based.

    menuentry "Remix-64" {
    set root='hd0,4'
    loopback loop (hd0,4)$isofile
    search --set=root --file /ISO/remix-os/kernel
    linux /ISO/remix-os/kernel root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=remix_x86_64 androidboot.selinux=permissive SRC=/ISO/remix-os DATA= CREATE_DATA_IMG=1 UVESA_MODE=1368x768 panic=5
    initrd /ISO/remix-os/initrd.img
    }
    

    You can find others examples here (use translate): http://stressat.blogspot.com/2018/02/boot-iso-images-from-hdd-2-windows.html
    You can even use persistence: http://stressat.blogspot.com/2018/05/boot-live-iso-hdd-cu-persistenta.html

    Hi Damjan,

    There are literally hundreds (maybe thousands) of Linux distributions available. Each is constantly changing - new releases, boot parms etc.

    It would be almost impossible for me to test every distribution and add automatic generation to Grub2Win.

    It is really only feasible to support the top 10 or so distributions within Grub2Win.

    I do try to help out with the installation of other distributions when I receive requests.
    The easiest way is for you to use Grub2Win's custom code feature.

    Hope this helps,

    Dave

    Drummer, you are developer?

    Ok, good job anyways. I did manage to boot LINEAGE OS and I will use this one instead of Phoenix OS
    :)
