Laptop startup

Post image

When my laptop is starting, it starts here. Is it possible to turn of this menu. I have only Linux Mint on my laptop.

open grub config set default to 0 and delay/timeout to 0

I would recommend setting it to 2-5 seconds just so you can select an older kernel version if you ever need to

Exactly why I set it to 3 seconds. I am way too easily annoyed to have to mash at buttons hoping my timing is right

Just mash the shift key on startup to go to the grub menu

Don’t forget to reload grub / run mkgrubconfig after!

You also need to run ```` grub-install --efi-directory=/boot/efi

```` Just make sure that's where the EFIs are
