  "textContent": "GNU GRUB 2, mostly just referred to as GRUB these days, is the most widely used boot loader for x86_64 Linux systems. It supports reading from a vast selection of filesystems, handles booting modern systems with UEFI or legacy systems with a BIOS, and even allows users to customize the \"splash\" image displayed when a system boots. Alas, all of those features come with a price; GRUB has had a parade\nof security vulnerabilities over the years. To mitigate some of those problems, Ubuntu\ncore developer and Canonical employee Julian Andres Klode has proposed removing\na number of features from GRUB in Ubuntu 26.10 to improve GRUB's security profile. His proposal has not been met with universal acclaim; many of the features Klode would like to remove have vocal proponents.",
