GNU GRUB

What GNU GRUB is
GNU GRUB is a free boot loader for computers that need to select and start operating systems. It supports both UEFI and BIOS firmware, covering two listed startup environments. GRUB also supports multiboot setups, so multiple operating-system options can be available from the boot process. Users can edit boot entries and customize the boot menu, giving them control over which choices appear and how startup options are arranged. The software is listed for Linux and Windows platforms and is described as multiplatform. GNU GRUB has a free plan and no paid pricing tier is listed. Its capabilities are centered on loading operating systems and configuring startup menus; the listing does not specify broader system-management functions or installation procedures. These details make GRUB relevant for computers where boot selection, multiple operating systems or customized startup entries matter. The GNU project website provides the listed product information.
