Hi, I just installed Arch Linux alongside macOS on a MacBookPro14,1 (2017 MacBook Pro). In the boot menu (by holding option when starting up), I see "EFI Boot" for Arch Linux.
I was able to set the boot option icon, but I would like to also rename the boot option to "Arch Linux". How can I do that?

try
efibootmgrto see wether that's the bootloader-id or something the uefi sets on its own
in the latter case you aren't able to change whatever apple hardcoded

Not sure. Here the output of `efibootmgr`:
```console

It is odd that it is detecting systems that are no longer installed. Not sure how to interpret that.
