rEFInd Reviews

thank for your hard work.

great work , need more work because every time it needs to edit to boot into updated kernels on opensuse

ok

Awesome work

Really happy it worked as described. The documentation is outstanding. Very helpful in understanding what going with the Mac and SIP. BTW I was able to install from a flash drive without having take an extra step is altering SIP. And it provides boot options both bootable option (I have a backup) plus Recovery Mode. Now Linux install is next Thanks

installed but don't know how to use...

is perfect firmware

An excellent boot manager. My #1 recommendation.

After the last update (refind (0.12.0-0ppa1) over (0.11.5-0ppa1), Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS) all items within the main screen have gone. (I've been VERY satisfied with this app until this update.)

Best the bootloader

A wonderful boot loader that I find very handy for dual booting Windows and Linux on a modern EFI based laptop.

Works great.

1000% better than Grub. Both from a visual perspective and operational perspective. Also, super great support from the developer via the discussion forums!!! I couldn't get Grub to load my OS/X. But, loading rEFInd from Linux using just the install-refind worked like magic!

rEFInd just works as it is excepted to do: - Settings are complete and well-explained in the doc - Installing a theme is easy - Works well out of the box

As for me, the favorite boot manager. I recommend it to the friends.

Excellent boot manager! Thanks to the original author and the new maintainer. On my aging MacBook Pro it works like a charm and allows me to enable VT-X in order to run Docker for Windows w/o softbooting from MacOS.

cool

Excellent boot manager. Great improvement over the original rEFIt (that was also a great one also but, unfortunately, stopped being maintained.) Thank you for the great job Roderick (and Christoph for the original rEFIt as well)

Roderick W. Smith does great job! First, He developed the great tool. Second, He collected and shared much of valuable information on rEFInd's page. Unfortunately, it's not allowed to post its address.

It's the easiest and most beautiful boot manager I have ever used.

Great and futureful boot manager

I have used this on a dual boot HP 500-164 Desktop PC, Windows and Ubuntu. Also, with an Asus laptop K55N, boot Ubuntu and Kali.

To all those noting below that it doesn't load this or that... it just isn't true. If time were spent learning instead of giving one star reviews for things not understood, maybe the result would be success. ..... Great effort (arguable the best) into making UEFI friendly. Yes to installer and UI over time, but yes to a valiant and successful effort into an area (bootloading) that is so headache prone, crappy reviews are a guarantee. ..... Booting various Linux, FreeBSD (+ TrueOS), OpenBSD, Windows, macOS direct from refind on Macs & PCs... couldn't get NetBSD to go - but that's its fault for having an "efi" loader yet. Even have it on a 32-bit EFI MacBook Late 2008, which won't do Windows non-legacy ... but does the others.

Does exactly what it claims to.

best utility for macbook pro mid 2009
