Hi,
unfortunately, I did not found much informations on this topic from
Debian related websites/wikis.
I am here on Debian/testing AMD64 and have a LUKS-encrypted system.
My notebook is a Lenovo ThinkPad T470 from 2017.
What are your recommendation especially for Debian-systems when
converting from grub to systemd-boot?
Where do I have to pay attention?
Can I get rid of grub entirely as it is not an "essential" package?
Thanks in advance for the help?
Regards,
