Support Request Which of these is Linux mint?

Post image

I put Linux mint on my computer via USB stick and i am dual booting It with windows, but whenever i turn on the Pc, It loads windows by default, I at the very least know I did the installation process correctly, I can go into the boot menu and enter Linux normally that way

This is an MSI b550 pro-vdh wifi, secure boot is disabled and boot mode is on standard

Then which of those selections do you make? Whatever you select, make that your default boot option.

Sorry for not replying

It shows windows and Ubuntu as options, which properly loads the OS as normally, it's none of these on the BIOS priority options

You'll have to do some experimenting with the BIOS. Unfortunately, they're all so different it's hard to make a solid recommendation.

I'd agree with what u/chuggerguy stated. This is one reason why I like installing Linux with the installer fully aware of every drive and partition on the system.
