So, since for whatever reason Grub seems to be broken beyond
repair, I today tried to just replace it with rEFInd. Installation
succeeded without any trouble. But when I start my system, rEFInd
just asks me if I want to boot with fwupd or with the still very
broken Grub. Am I missing something? Is rEFInd really just
something to select between different OSs (and not just different
distributions like Grub can very well do) and then gives the rest
over to their bootloaders or am I missing something so rEFInd will
take over all of Grubs jobs?

Also, besides the way that I have no clue how it would have
to look

anything wrong with it anyways. So I can't even look at the

You append the commands that you used to boot manually with
into
/etc/grub.d/40_custom, observing the comments there, and also
into
grub.cfg itself at the appropriate place (near the bottom).
The
former is so that Grub includes it in any new grub.cfg that
you
create.
Good to know.
Edit:, never mind. Tried that, it still booted straight to the
UEFI BIOS menu after entering my password. At this point, I'm
seriously considering slapping rEFInd on it and pray that it picks
up on everything automatically and fix the situation. But so
should Grub have, besides the fact that I can't even be entirely
sure Grub is to blame and not something else.
