I really do miss the simplicity of grub 0.97,keeping it as long as I can on my older boxes.

  Grub simple? If you want simple use systemd-boot. It's a hell of a lot leaner than grub ever was. The config is sane and doesn't require a billion additional modules to be installed. It should be the default at this point, especially after all of this fiasco.

    Next thing I will hear "Linux simple? Systemd-kernel is a lot leaner" I think we have different definitions of lean and simple. After about a decade of Linux use I just found out Grub has modules thanks to you. You point it a disk and it installs. You edit the config file and that works. That's my experience it. I have had many debates with people who like systemd-isms , it's a fundamental difference in use case and philosophy.

      Systemd-boot is not originally designed in systemd philosophy. It was originally gummiboot and got adopted into systemd project. The explicit design goal was to be a minimal alternative to grub.
