GRand Unified Bootloader (GRUB) is a widely used boot loader for Linux-based operating systems. It is the first program that runs when a computer starts up, responsible for loading the operating system kernel into memory. GRUB allows users to select which operating system or kernel to boot into, especially useful for multi-booting systems.
