Separate /boot/ is only required with certain configurations, none of which I use for Fedora installations, among which are LVM, RAID, and use of selected non-Grub bootloaders, such as systemd-boot, or any other bootloader configuration that locates the installation's initrds on a separate filesystem from that containing / or /boot/. <https://forums.opensuse.org/t/how-to-have-a-custom-uefi-grub-menu-for-a-multiboot-system/133541> might be worth a read, explaining my bootloader configuration utilized on UEFI systems. Only one Gnu/Linux bootloader per computer is necessary for booting any Gnu/Linux installation. All my F4X and less recent Fedora installations are on single NVME or SSD multiboot. None of my countless Fedora installations have any Fedora bootloader installed (or if they do, it's not active/configured), nor do Ubuntu, Debian, Mageia, Mint, Slackware, OpenMandriva, Neon nor Leap. Everything UEFI here boots from a Tumbleweed Grub EFI's /boot/grub2/custom.cfg (currently 2.12-52), while installations on MBR systems boot from Grub Legacy, most commonly from openSUSE 13.1's (2013) Grub installation on sda3 (or when IBM OS/2's Boot Manager is installed on sda2, Grub is on sda5 or sda7, never on any MBR). -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.
