good evening dear friends, hello to you,


well during the installation of Linux on my Notebooks (older ones) i sometimes recognized some notifications regarding GRUB...

note: i have a Thinkpad T 420 and a Thinkpad T 520 and i am loving these! Well in my opinion: if there's a notebook built to last, it's the T 520 and the T 420:
I think these devices are truly ultra-robust: the Lenovo T520 notebook has outlived several newer devices here ? it's been used in rougher conditions and is considerably more robust than almost all the other devices here. I'm impressed ? what are your experiences here... ? with the case and keyboard? Well, I've heard from many people that they're used as service devices ? and they were basically unbeatable.

The simple design with maintenance hatches and docking station was simply extremely well thought out.

Some of my fellow students were in the field and used a ThinkPad as a notebook. For some, the conditions were extremely rough ? and the devices lasted ? for over 10 years or even longer ? and still work perfectly today. Honestly: I've never seen such a practical device on the notebook market before or since.

back to the current topic: i am installing Linux on these older notebooks - quite some: and sometimes i stumble over the question - should i use Grub!?
Should i take care for GRUB and the correct installation of Grub!?

my question is: why do you guys still use GRUB?

why do you use Grub - i do not know much very 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?

Even so, I've seeing people installing GRUB anyway on new computers, because maybe they are unware of it ?

in short: What are the pros & cons of not using GRUB?

Plz lemme know your ideas and thoughts


best regards
