Is this news to you?
For as long as I remember the basic take has been “manjaro’s grub boots anything, but manjaro wont be booted by anyone elses grub”
As in - true today and true 5 years ago.
[manjaro /]# grub-install --recheck --no-rs-codes --modules="part_gpt part_msdos" --target="i386-pc" /dev/sda
Installing for i386-pc platform.
grub-install: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?).
[manjaro /]# umount /dev
umount: /dev: not mounted.
[manjaro /]# mount /dev
mount: /dev: can't find in /etc/fstab.

I’m sorry guys, but I’m tired and need to get it working tomorrow morning, so I reinstalled keeping data safe not formatting the /home partition and recreating the same user with same pw.
Manjaro’s GRUB has overwrited the Mint’s one and it recognised all the OSs as well.
Thank you all
