Hey everyone! I'm new to the world of Linux and I'm working on setting up my machine with three different Linux distros: Arch (specifically Omarchy), Bazzite, and Mint, each on its own drive. I'm looking for a user-friendly boot menu that allows me to choose which system to boot into and lets me rename the boot entries to something meaningful. I've tried using GRUB and Limine, the Arch boot loader, but I can't seem to get it to work right. What would be the easiest way to set up this boot manager? Any resources or tips would be greatly appreciated!

You said you tried GRUB and Limine but had issues. Limine is indeed recommended for Omarchy due to its lightweight nature. Make sure you followed the installation instructions carefully; if not, it could lead to these problems. You might want to check the official Arch wiki for detailed steps!
Having three distros can be a bit of a hassle, but it’s worth it if each serves a purpose! Just to clarify, you’re sticking with Limine for Arch? That could simplify your setup since it’s made for that environment!
If you're trying to manage multiple distros, REFind is a great option. It supports custom naming for your entries, making it easier to identify which system to boot into. You can find the guide on how to set it up on the Arch wiki. It's pretty straightforward once you get the hang of it!
Thanks for the suggestion! I'll definitely check out REFind. I need something that's easy to configure.
