It’s as easy as pie too; they show up right there on the boot menu:

I really don't understand why people have this little awareness of usability. Show the freaking date normally! At least add hyphens.

We tried Dolphin and Konsole as Flatpaks for a while, but the user experience was just terrible.

Yeah I'm fairly sympathetic to Flatpak. It's way closer to how software should be installed by users. But I have yet to actually use it successfully. Is it really ready?

Booting to a black screen with white text, while functional, really detracts from the more professional experiences that can be had elsewhere. I know the theming support is severely lacking in systemd-boot though (which I believe this is)
