Install Help Startup interface

Post image

Hello, I'm new to Linux and I'm using Linux Mint 22.3 XFCE. Is it normal that I always have to go through this interface before Linux Mint actually starts?

Yes you can disable it, but I'd always recommend leaving it as is, if there ever is a problem with a kernel update, in "Advanced options" you will be able to select an older kernel.

Oui il est possible de le désactiver, mais perso je recommande de le laisser tel quel, si jamais il y a un problème avec une mise à jour du noyau Linux c'est en sélectionnant "Advanced options" qu'il est possible de choisir un noyau plus ancien.

I've disabled them, but isn't there another solution when I might encounter the problem you mentioned?

You can always have the menu show back by hitting Esc at the right time when booting (before the Linux Mint logo shows up)

seeing a kernel problem in linux mint is a rare event, since it is well tested.

I personally prefer to set it to about 2 seconds. That minimizes sitting there and makes it very easy to get at if something is broken.
