The steps to using it are:

1. Install Linux as you normally would e.g. by booting from an .iso image burnt to a removable USB drive - OpenLinuxBoot.efi is not involved in this stage
2. Add `OpenLinuxBoot.efi` and `ext4_x64.efi` to your `config.plist` `Drivers` section
3. Make sure `RequestBootVarRouting` and `LauncherOption` are enabled in `config.plist`; it is also recommended to enable `HideAuxiliary` in order to hide older Linux kernels except when you need to see them (which you would do by pressing SPACE to show auxiliary entries in the OpenCore boot menu)
4. Reboot into OpenCore, installed Linux should now just appear
5. Never use Grub again
2. Get `ext4_x64.efi` from [acidanthera/OCBinaryData](https://github.com/acidanthera/OcBinaryData/tree/master/Drivers) and put it in the `/EFI/OC/Drivers` directory on the EFI partition.
3. Add `OpenLinuxBoot.efi` and `ext4_x64.efi` to your `config.plist` `Drivers` section
4. Make sure `RequestBootVarRouting` and `LauncherOption` are enabled in `config.plist`; it is also recommended to enable `HideAuxiliary` in order to hide older Linux kernels except when you need to see them (which you would do by pressing SPACE to show auxiliary entries in the OpenCore boot menu)
5. Reboot into OpenCore, installed Linux should now just appear
6. Never use Grub again

If you previously used method B or C below, you will need to remove those settings in order not to see your Linux distro twice in the OpenCore boot menu.
