it detects at least every other linux flavours, Windows for 
sure.
Possibly MacOS and related, but I am not sure of this.

The problem is the reverse : do the other OS behave as 
politely as Debian does ? Windows not at all.

The other linuxes behave differently depending on whether 
the boot is from a legacy MSDOS MBR or via multiple copies 
of grub files in a GPT disk.
I have the old setup, and when One distro updates grub and 
rebuilds initramfs, it installs its own copy that replaces 
the other.

With the new GPT one can configure both as they were really 
independend, side by side.

Imvho opinion windows is preferably run inside a virtual 
machine. Win11 runs very well virtualized, and does not 
break anything outside. Files can be shared among guest and 
host. VMWare manages this really smoothly (with aggressive 
caching and delayed committing to the network-disk).
