- Show information about the system firmware and the bootloaders:

`bootctl`

- Show all available bootloader entries:

- Set a flag to boot into the system firmware on the next boot (similar to `sudo systemctl reboot --firmware-setup`):

`sudo bootctl reboot-to-firmware true`

`bootctl --esp-path /{{path/to/efi_system_partition}}/`

- Install `systemd-boot` into the EFI system partition:

`sudo bootctl install`

- Remove all installed versions of `systemd-boot` from the EFI system partition:
