GRUB2 doesn't add anything automatically, you have to run grub2-mkconfig |
| 15 |
to generate automatic entries. If you want to run that but not generate |
| 16 |
the automatic entries, chmod -x /etc/grub.d/10_linux. |

On the other hand, if you want to kee things simple on a UEFI box, remove |
| 19 |
GRUB altogether and use Gummiboot. |

I use GRUB on BIOS systems and Gummiboot on UEFI ones. The version of |
| 22 |
GRUB is whatever was current at the tome the system was set up. I never |
| 23 |
saw a reason to change a working system from legacy to GRUB2. That may be |
| 24 |
different now, but I retired the last of my legacy GRUB boxes earlier |
| 25 |
this month. |
