Where can the symbolic link to the grub.cfg file typically be found?

The symbolic link to the grub.cfg file is typically found at /etc/grub2.cfg on systems that use GRUB 2 for boot management. In many Linux distributions, particularly those derived from Red Hat (like CentOS and Fedora), the direct configuration file for GRUB is named grub.cfg, and /etc/grub2.cfg serves as a link or reference to this file. This makes it easier for system administrators to manage and access the file without needing to navigate to the specific boot directory.

The naming convention and directory structure help maintain consistency across various systems and ensure that scripts or commands that reference /etc/grub2.cfg will point to the correct configuration file for the bootloader. This is essential for managing system boot configurations effectively, especially in environments where GRUB settings may need to be adjusted frequently.

Other paths mentioned serve different purposes or don't follow the standard conventions often used with GRUB 2. For instance, /etc/boot/grub/grub.cfg does not follow the common structure where configurations are typically kept in /etc or directly under /boot/grub/ in some distributions. Similarly, /usr/local/grub.cfg is not a standard directory for GRUB configuration files, and the location typically adds to the overall complexity and confusion
