IMPACTS ON:
Grub Version, using
BROAD DESCRIPTION OF ISSUE
AFFECTS
Multi-booters of Linux
MAY AFFECT
Users dualbooting a Linux with a Windows version
FURTHER INPUT REQUESTED
At this point, I will not go further until I get input from Chris Guiver (TIA).
Over at Ubuntu here
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1475735/check-grub-disable-os-prober
Chris mentioned, in part
@guiverc - Chris is that Debian 12 Bookworm, or other?
Mine, following install, included this in /etc/default/grub
That last line, in particular, indicates that Calamares Installer detected my multi-booting setup and accommodated that, whereas MX-linux for example, does not, but it uses the MX-installer.
So I will provide more, after I hear from Chris.
Cheers

...& the Debian I'm currently using (I use this box maybe two hours nightly; it's not my primary PC) and I needed to do nothing post install for all OSes to be offered to me at grub...
@guiverc - Chris is that Debian 12 Bookworm, or other?
Mine, following install, included this in /etc/default/grub
Code:
# If your computer has multiple operating systems installed, then you
# probably want to run os-prober. However, if your computer is a host
# for guest OSes installed via LVM or raw disk devices, running
# os-prober can cause damage to those guest OSes as it mounts
# filesystems to look for things.
# OS_PROBER re-enabled by Debian Calamares installation:
