    What does this mean in practice? Does grub no longer detect other OS, and if so how can I re-enable os-prober while installing debian (before it installs grub)?

    grub-installer will probe other OSes and enable os-prober by default if
    it detects any.

    You can edit /etc/default/grub and set GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true or
    false (warning: reversed logic, true=disabled).

    Hi!

    I've got a question regarding the following statement:
