GRUB without linux?

[tomatensaftliebhaber027]

Hey, I love the visuals and the reliability of the linux mint/ubuntu GRUB OS selector on my laptop with linux and windows and I was wondering if I can get it without actually installing linux on my desktop pc with macOS (Hackintosh) and Windows. Thanks for your help! [by the way I think the grub scans the EFI partition (?) for bootable "stuff" but I'm not sure; maybe you can help me?

I believe not, as the Hackintosh boot loader from what I can find has to be the default which in turn will load the Windows boot loader or GRUB.

just for the record, it's possible to install grub without a linux operating system, though not for your specific use case
