From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I currently have a dual boot between Windows and Linux but I'm thinking about removing Windows. Would I need to do anything to Grub in order to continue use Linux Mint? (lemmy.ml)

As a sort of follow up to the post I made on my alt account, would I need to do to anything to Grub to continue using Linux Mint after removing Windows or would I still be able to boot into Linux Mint without having to do anything? As stated in the previous post, Windows is installed onto an SSD and I want run games from that SSD but I'd need to reformat the SSD in order to use it.

Edit: I don't need help with this anymore but because it seems like there is some confusion, I'm including the fact that I have Linux installed onto an external hard drive and Windows was installed onto the SSD which is in the laptop. I've already remove Windows from the SSD and reformatted it to ext4 so I can run games from it.

I don't know what most of those numbers mean but most of them are 0 and the overall assessment says "Disk is OK", so I guess it wasn't used much in the past two years. "program-fail-count-total" has a value of 94669670143499 but I'm not sure if that's actually bad or not because "program-fail-count" is 0.

Also, as I stated before, I'm still going to prioritize my slower hard drives so I'm not stuck with them if the SSD fails before I can buy a faster drive.
