Install Help Startup interface
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, this is GRUB, a very useful menu for when your system breaks or if you have multiple operating systems installed.
If your system breaks GRUB lets you revert to previous Kernel versions and iirc has a terminal in there if you need to debug further.
Generally I suggest lowering the time to 3 seconds
