I know this is an amateur question, but I want to make sure that I do it correctly the first time. I want to add a boot parameter, so what file do I edit/create to do so? My computer doesn't have a /etc/default/grub file. I can't tell you why. I didn't intentionally delete it. I have a bunch of configuration files in /etc/grub.d , but I don't want to touch any of them because I don't know what put them there or if/when they'll be overwritten. Is there a way to generate a default /etc/default/grub file that I can edit? I'd think after 30 years there would be a command to do that, but over an hour on the Internet yielded nothing. With thanks,

It would help if you said which version of Debian you're using. On buster, that file isn't registered as a conf file in any package, so it's produced by cryptogenic means. Maybe the installer created it, or maybe it was created by some package's postinst. Who can tell? Who can know? I tried reading /var/lib/dpkg/info/grub-efi-amd64.postinst and couldn't find any code to create it if it's missing. Your best bet is probably to grab /etc/default/grub from some other Debian system that matches your Debian version and architecture, and then modify it as needed.
