Hi, IMHO either graphical user interface tools, as well as all those GRUB configs, to auto-config GRUB, are far off a philosophy that is much important for many Linux users. Many users, including myself follow the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle . When using Ubuntu flavours, the most easiest thing is to stray with the default boot loader GRUB2 and to allow Ubuntu flavours to install it, even if you would prefer to neither use GRUB2, nor any other bootloader installed by an Ubuntu flavour. Then iron out annoyances, by using dpkg-divert to get rid of the grub auto-crap. After doing this simply edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg with your editor of choice. Regards, Ralf PS: A script using dpkg-divert to get rid of grub-mkconfig and update-grub [1]. An off-topic note [2].

I'm an experienced long time Linux user, didn't migrate from Windows or MacOS and tested Lubuntu. The default apps provided by the live media don't follow a clear-cut course, some apps e.g. Galculator follow an old school GUI design, other apps, e.g. file-roller follow a fashioned GUI design. What ever the Lubuntu team should prefer, a clear-cut course would be to provide either galculator and e.g. Engrampa or gnome-calculator and file-roller. I experienced a serious issue, by default Lubuntu comes with something that makes Green WD drives constantly spin up, when they go to sleep. I removed GVFS, this is one of the known Green drive killers and anyway good for absolutely nothing for users who preffer small environments over bloated environments. I also killed all udisks instances. Nothing is wrong with udisks, you just need to ensure that it's not active, when you don't use it and a Green drive should be used. When installing smartmontools it's required to disable smartd, since it's an Ubuntu policy, to start anything that could be auto-started by default. However, I'm an Arch Linux user and in addition I've got a tailored Ubuntu 16.04 install, both running openbox with lxpanel and I was the one who helped getting rid of https://github.com/lxde/libfm/commit/994a1e25ba0c3da80575fc002af17ab02ed5998b . In short, neither my Ubuntu install, nor my Arch Linux are waking up Green WD drives, but I couldn't stop Lubuntu from harming the drive. There are other inconsistencies why I discourage users from using Lubuntu after I tested it, but to keep it short, if you want a lightweight and clear Ubuntu based install, then e.g. use the server image, disable all packages it would install by default, IOW do the minimalist install possible and then install what you need. Openbox and LXDE apps are good choices, when not bound to Lubuntu. Sure, this is just an opinion, based on much Linux experience.
