EndeavourOS - How to install grub, please?
by Snugbug from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6HD80)
Sorry, I've chosen the Arch board, since there seems to be no EndeavourOS board available here.
My question:
Since I'm pretty much fed up with reinstalling some Debian or Ubuntu based distros, each two or three years, I'm curious about installing EndeavourOS on my computer (UEFI type), but since it is a multiboot system, I want to make absolutely sure, I don't destroy any of the other, already existing installations (which are a win10, a Debian based distro and an Ubuntu based one).
Maybe I should add, EndeavourOS will be my first Arch based distro ever.
As far as I know (please, correct me if I'm wrong), the EndeavourOS installation is done pretty much the ordinary way. I just choose "Something else..." or an according option to have control over the partitions, choose one partition for root, one for home, one for swap, choose /dev/sda2 (my EFI partition) for grub and then go for it.
But what if, some day, I want to reinstall grub?
On a Debian or an Ubuntu based distro, I'm used to use this command:
Code:sudo grub-install && sudo update-grubWhat would this command look like for EndeavourOS, please?
2nd question:
What should I prefer, ext4 or btrfs? And can both of them see each other, if I try to access a particular partition from another distro?
