Whenever I open a Linux distro iso file there is always a grub and an isolinux bootloader, I realized they use isolinux to boot the installation.
Can't we use grub for that? is isolinux faster and better for installation?

[There's some history for Ubuntu specifically over on AskUbuntu that may be helpful](https://askubuntu.com/questions/651902/what-is-the-difference-between-grub-and-syslinux), but I think this is a good "general" question. ISOLINUX is very common. – Karu Jan 14 '21 at 06:04

In general, distros offer what is available. I don't think there's a specific "why" behind that. And I still use lilo for some of my older systems... just because they never made the switch. – dirkt Jan 14 '21 at 08:21
