I'm not a developer, but I need to respond here that removal of os-prober
made my newish 22.04 Kubuntu install unbootable until the amazing System76
support team helped me test every other possibility and when it became
evident that it was the absence of os-prober causing the issue, to add it
back to the system.

If there is a bug report I would be happy to add my case to that bug.

I have no objection to that measure, but as someone who always have <br>
multiple installs in different partitions, I find that the information <br>

I see this message:<br>
