Partially related to my previous post here, but instead of support this is more of a general question.

(tl;dr: AntiX boots fine on the aforementioned laptop, while other distros need a custom kernel argument in order to boot, why does this happen?)

While messing around and trying to get Linux to boot on my friend's laptop, I noticed that AntiX specifically booted without needing to mess with any kernel arguments (unlike Fedora [and forks], and presumably others too [I only checked Fedora-based distros since that's what I was trying to install]). What's different with AntiX compared to (at least) Fedora to where Fedora has issues booting while AntiX boots perfectly fine?

I kinda want to guess that AntiX uses a different bootloader, but then why would a kernel argument be the thing that fixes Fedora?
