I use rEFInd as my boot manager and sometimes I like to dual boot a new linux distro (just to try out) which I install with a live USB. Unfortunately, after installing, GRUB has always taken the reigns and it becomes a slight inconvenience to get back to rEFInd every time.

Is there some trick that can request grub not to install?

[What prompted me to ask was I tried KaOS yesterday, and during installation it asked what bootloader i wanted and included the option for ‘none’.]

    I use arch btw. So you choose what boot loader to install and if you even want one. I’ve stopped using grub for decades because it has always been such a mess. Used refind for some time. Nowadays I just use systemd-boot.
