Grub itself isn't complex to set up if you just create a grub.cfg file manually. Doing that is trivial. My config files typically range from 5 lines (single kernel) to 20 lines (a couple different kernels). What's complex is the auto-magical, AI-driven, devs-know-better-thab-you grub configuration generator systems that various distros use to generate config files that are hundreds of lines long and yet refuse to do what you want. -- Grant
