It worked for me. Tried it after you posted above.

From...
menuentry 'Ubuntu' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-simple-6cdbf678-8ea0-4224-b2db-53c1d7450fff' {


To.....
menuentry 'Ubuntu-Osssid GNU/Linux' --class ubuntu_osssid --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-simple-6cdbf678-8ea0-4224-b2db-53c1d7450fff' {

The change effected in /etc/os-prober

But, if you think new linux users should not try changing anything, glad I heard your advice only now.
Else I'd remain a new linux user.
