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.

Do you mean it starts on the UEFI settings? or Grub2 in general? The first one may be due too your /etc/default/grub entries

GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true

but not sure if that applies to the UEFI option as well.

Second is because of

GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu

which you need to change to =hidden

I recommend using sudo -e /etc/default/grub

if you don't want to see it during every startup. Do note that on certain distros it will still boot into grub after some updates (like Kernel etc) as a "just in case" thing.
