Not necessary, but does no harm either. The first 90% of the file is |
| 17 |
automated setup, which you can replace with hard coded entries or just |
| 18 |
leave it to its own devices. The only part you need to think about is the |
| 19 |
menuentry sections. |

GRUB has extensive documentation. it's not the best written but every |
| 24 |
configuration option is described. |

Isn't this a new laptop? If so, why torment yourself with GRUB when you |
| 27 |
have UEFI available to you? The only real justification for using GRUB in |
| 28 |
such a situation is that you are completely familiar with it and don't |
| 29 |
want to learn something else. But if you have to learn something, you may |
| 30 |
as well learn the 2/3 line configs of systemd-boot. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Note that systemd-boot doesn't require systemd, it's just the gummiboot |
| 33 |
boot manager that was merged into systemd taken out again. Or you could |
| 34 |
use rEFInd if you prefer a prettier boot menu. |
