Summary0000033: grub2 + EFI uses /boot/efi/EFI/centos for its config. Should this not be something like /boot/efi/EFI/almalinux instead?
DescriptionMore of a branding issue that technical, really.

Used the almalinux-deploy.sh script to convert a CENTOS 8.3 VM to Almalinux 8.3RC1 with the following specifications :

- hosted on Hyper-V
- Gen 2
- secure boot is disabled

Hyper-V Gen2 boots using EFI.

Script worked, machine boots fine. However, I noticed that the directory structure in grub2 is /boot/efi/EFI/centos. Should this not be rebranded to use a Almalinux specific directory such as /boot/efi/EFI/almalinux instead?
Steps To Reproduce- Install a VM with CENTOS 8.3 on a platform that boots using EFI
- Run a full update using dnf update
- Run the conversion script (almalinux-deploy.sh)
- Observe where the symbolic link /etc/grub2-efi.cfg points to
TagsNo tags attached.
