If Linux is only distro on the notebook, do i still need Grub here?

[thedighubs]

good day dear friends,

I am installing Linux on all my notebooks and desktops:

• EndeavourOS
• Manjaro
• and several others

some time ago i noticed that it lists installing Grub as an advanced option. I have made up my mind bout Grub

So here my questions: why do you use Grub - i do not know much about Grub - and yes: i am sure that all i know and write here
is biased or probably incorrect so feel free to dissuade me.

Why should /could we use GRUB?

It was developed primarily for multibooting purposes when there was no UEFI yet.

Now we have more - note we have UEFI and we can multiboot without additional layers of complexity.
So is it pretty clear that we have some benefits while using systemd-boot or EFISTUB - that said: are such ones - such systems even more simple and elegant solutions.

Plz lemme know your ideas and thought


I really appreciate your ideas and comments

If Linux is the only thing on your notebook, you don’t really need GRUB. GRUB’s mainly for when you’re juggling multiple OSes. If it’s just Linux, systemd-boot or EFISTUB can keep things simpler. UEFI can handle booting on its own without all the extra layers.

thank you - this sheds a light onto a topic with which i am not too familar.

thanks for the clearance - and for the heads up. i am glad.

its allways a bit tricky if i get asked ( also during install process of linux) what - and which system i want to use ..

have a great day... 😉
