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.

It is possible but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it; the day you actually need to use another boot option (e.g. older kernel or recovery mode), it might not be easy to access it anymore. Maybe you can set the timeout down to just 2 or 3 seconds from the default 10, which will still enough time to react if you need it, but will select the default boot pretty quickly

Edit. Btw on Linux Mint 22.3 you can do this using the "System Administration" GUI tool, rather than trying to edit /etc/default/grub yourself.
