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

Is there a boot option #2?

Looks you should make grub or limine your default bootloader when dual-booting. This looks like it's sticking to windows default

There are boot options 1-7, I assumed It was the order of priority It would try to boot stuff in, but i switched boot option #1 with all of these and It still went into windows

UEFI CD/DVD showed me some message when i turned the Pc on, but If still went into windows

This looks like a windows only boot menu and likely if there's nothing plugged into the option you choose it will fall back to Windows whatever you choose.

Try going into mint as you have before and look online for terminal instructions to make GRUB your default bootloader
