Canonical Wants to Strip GRUB Down to Its Bones — and Ubuntu’s Boot Process May Never Be the Same

Canonical plans to dramatically slim down GRUB for Ubuntu 26.10, removing legacy BIOS drivers, unnecessary filesystem modules, and redundant video code from UEFI builds. The move targets faster boot times, reduced attack surface, and a bootloader right-sized for modern firmware.

@knoppix95 poor move take away luks to improve security -.- but from other side who even consider secureboot *secure* ? just go with setup luks fde on lvm (including boot partition) and unsigned grub more secure solution anyway than secureboot... ^^ ;p
