I've always used Lilo, which is simple + reliable :
I never see questions re it here, but there are many re Grub.
I do use recent hardware, a cutting-edge machine I built  6 mth ago .
When setting it up, I suppressed UEFI in the BIOS settings :
isn't that what anyone not running M$ would do ?

I haven't been reading this long thread -- merely skimming some of it -- ,
& I missed or didn't understand what is being proposed or imposed.
There was an issue earlier re not having  /use  on a separate partition
& both my machines have it on the same partition as  / .
Is this thread re that earlier matter or is it a new item ?
