More specifically, it is suggested to include the machine ID (`/etc/machine-id`
or the D-Bus machine ID for OSes that lack `/etc/machine-id`), the kernel
version (as returned by `uname -r`) and an OS identifier (the `ID=` field of
`/etc/os-release`).

* `title` is a human-readable title for this menu item to be displayed in the
boot menu. It is a good idea to initialize this from the `PRETTY_NAME=` of
`/etc/os-release`. This name should be descriptive and does not have to be

show more than just the raw title in the UI, for example by appending the
`version` field. This field is optional.

* `sort-key` is a short string used for sorting entries on display. This should
typically be initialized from the `IMAGE_ID=` or `ID=` fields of
`/etc/os-release`, possibly with an additional suffix. This field is
optional. If set, it is used as primary sorting key for the entries on
display (lexicographically increasing). It does not have to be unique (and
usually is not). If non-unique the the `machine-id` (lexicographically
increasing) and `version` (lexicographically decreasing, i.e. newest version
first) fields described above are used as secondary/ternary sorting keys. If
this field is not set entries are typically sorted by the `.conf` file name
of the entry.
