From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The first two lines seem like they probably came from X, the old standard UI system for *nix. The last line is just saying that your 2nd partition on your 3rd disk was checked with no errors found. This is fine.
Given that the UI then starts up you can ignore these messages. They're there in case the system fails to start up after that point.
GRUB (or any other bootloader) doesn't care about and in fact doesn't even know about X, Wayland, or any other userland GUI system.
Okay? These aren't from the bootloader tho.
X11 doesnt start until after the kernel is loaded.
Yes, that's right.
Linux is the old standard kernel for GNU
Because Hurd was disastrously conceived from the very beginning, it can never be more than an unnecessarily inefficient curiosity.
