    I just installed this app and it makes switching between kernels easy.

    I don't use it because I seldom edit my GRUB config. The only thing I
    do is to switch off Plymouth. I use vi to edit the file.

    i installed it because i was having trouble switching between xanmode
    and the default kernel. so far there have been no problems.

    What is hard about switching between kernels?

    I have used GrubCustomizer in the past to clean up the
    Grub listing but I keep 3 or 4 kernels at a time on my Grub list
    and choosing a different kernel is easy at startup.
    I use PCLinuxOS 64 and we users of that distro install kernels
    with Synaptic as well as all the updates coming down from the
    packager. Currently at Linux 6.0.9 and KDE's Plasma 5.26.3
    which is good enough for me to do all my usual business on
    my Dell Latitude E7450.

    I haven't switched between kernels in a while, I just run whatever is
    current and updates install and set the default kernel for me. If I
    needed to switch from the default kernel, I'd edit the appropriate
    config file and run update-grub.

    Somewhat related, a Grub tool I have used is grub-emu to test different
    themes without having to reboot. Can't seem to do much more with that
    but I guess it would point out obvious errors in the Grub config file.

    it sez:

    "the more you complicate something, the bigger the risk of failures"

    how true, but even more so how hilarious in the case of grub2 :-)))))

    my email client is Sylpheed and it has a folder link
    in every one of these systems pointing to a single
    real folder on a remote data drive. I nominate Sylpheed
    for the Nobel prize of Compuke-Conviviality and expect
    every one of my apps to behave this way or soon be
    gone from my computer.

    Yes, it makes the use of several bootable distros on one machine so
    much easier. Chainloading the likes of Windows works easily too - no
    worries about writing various text settings files. The author
    produced various versions, if it's not in the distro repo you need
    to be careful to use the latest version.

    On boot, I can load any of 4 operating systems. I do it without any customizer. It's built into grub if you let it
    run the os-prober to find all of the systems and put them on the menu.
