My opinion: I consider Grub Customizer (GC) as dangerous and superfluous.
Dangerous, because it adds a thick layer of complexity to one of the most vital parts of your operating system: the bootloader. The more complex you make something, the more likely it is to cause trouble.
Superfluous, because most of what GC does, can also rather easily be accomplished by some manual hacks.
Spurred by a recent forum discussion, I've written a detailed article about my testing of GC. In that article I analyze this matter in more detail. I've put a lot of (hopefully) clarifying screenshots in that article of the test that I performed: https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspot.c ... mizer.html
I hope this "knot in my forum handkerchief" can be useful, both for people who wish to advise others about Grub Customizer and for those who consider using it themselves.
Just to make this clear: I mean no disrespect towards Daniel Richter, who is the author of Grub Customizer. I have no doubt that he's a highly skilled programmer and very good at his job. It's just that I think that GC is based on a fundamentally wrong technical concept.
