My pc (for some annoying reason) defaults to windows boot manager, despite Mint being installed first, so every time i want to get to linux, I have to go to windows, shift+restart and click linux that way. Its really annoying. I want to delete WBM and add windows 10 to GRUB, but I dont know if that will cause problems. Any advice?

your windows 10 OS is already likely part of GRUB. go in your bios. set the uefi item saying 'ubuntu' to top of list.

I tried that, only WBM appears in bios
i think windows 10 is already in GRUB, but i have no way to boot straight to it

Uefi
pliant elbow
that it reports
k
now open control panel
choose power options,
on the left choose "what the power buttons do"
then click on show settings currently not available
lament stirrup
Omfg fast start up is on, I have disabled this about 15 times, not even exaggerating
It’s off, again.

next, do what u must to boot to linux
from there, open terminal, and do efibootmgr and mention what it says.

weird how my bios cant see that
pliant elbow
For reference, these are my boot options
either go back here, and edit uefi bbs priorites, and add a new entry
which should be ubuntu
or
the otherway could be to use efibootbmgr with some special added commands to adjust the order so 8 is first
lament stirrup
whats the second way, bc my bios is so stupid, theres a few things i just cant seem to do with it
i think i need to update it but that scares me 😅
pliant elbow
well u should really explore 1st way first
lament stirrup
ok ill have a look
pliant elbow
ok so u put the ubuntu entry to top in bbs priorities, yes?
lament stirrup
yeah, restarted and it went to mint
pliant elbow
good, next:
lament stirrup
no grub though, straight to kde
pliant elbow
see that
u must open that custom90 file
in a rootmode editor (sudo nano blahblahfile) in terminal
lament stirrup
done
did i just get RTFMed lmao 😂
pliant elbow
ctrl-o to save in nano
lament stirrup
oh shit
pliant elbow
did u save n exit nano?
pliant elbow
i dont know if that shortcut is valid
lament stirrup
oh it saved anyway nvm
pliant elbow
then do the update grub thing it says
lament stirrup
done that
pliant elbow
choose reboot from ur taskbar or do sudo reboot in term
pliant elbow
u should have gotten the black menu as shown in the manual link
lament stirrup
Yeah, I might put a theme on it, might not idk
pliant elbow
if windows fast startup keeps being dumb, then:
open a admin-mode command prompt in windows, and do powercfg /h off to disable with admin mode rights
lament stirrup
ill keep an eye on it,
honestly im just waiting for decent anticheat support on linux and ill delete windows entirely
