Description Sasi Olin 2020-01-04 12:16:36 UTC 
SUMMARY
systemd recently added an option to reboot from session directly to bootloader in this PR https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/10495 From the Fedora perspective, there is also GRUB2 integration for rebooting to systemd, presented for example in this PR to gnome-session https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-session/merge_requests/6

The patch to GRUB2 is being implemented in Tumbleweed now, so it would be great to see at least the systemd option to restart to bootloader, if you aren't comfortable having a grub command run from the code like the gnome-session example. We could possibly carry a patch for it downstream in that case.

This appears to now exist and can be resolved, can you please confirm?

I asked around, and I think what you mean, that was implemented, is restarting to UEFI menu, that's not really the same thing

Yeah, seems like it.
