Grub itself isn't complex to set up if you just create a grub.cfg file |
| 17 |
manually. Doing that is trivial. My config files typically range from |
| 18 |
5 lines (single kernel) to 20 lines (a couple different |
| 19 |
kernels). What's complex is the auto-magical, AI-driven, |
| 20 |
devs-know-better-thab-you grub configuration generator systems that |
| 21 |
various distros use to generate config files that are hundreds of |
| 22 |
lines long and yet refuse to do what you want. |
