From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is there not issues with filling up the NVRAM with efi entries, even if you're deleting old ones? I've bricked a computer by distrohopping so many times it couldn't write new entries.

I'm probably wrong, but NVRAM suggests that there should be some way to clear it. (Clearing the CMOS might if you can't do it in software)

I've cleared entries before with efibootmgr.
