Hello again friends!
A few days ago I updated my BIOS, to possibly fix an issue I was having, and I’ve noticed some strange behavior when it comes to my boot entries. This might’ve been caused by my BIOS reverting to default settings after the update, but I’m not sure. Anyway, bellow I’ve attached the output of efibootmgr
.

What you’re seeing is pretty much identical to what I got after the update in the BIOS itself, except for the boot order. It was originally set to boot into Windows by default, so I wanted to change it to GRUB. Problem was that I was missing one of the entries that I used to have before the update, called endeavouros
.
Seeing as the UEFI OS
entry was on the same drive as my Endeavour install, I tried booting that one and it booted into GRUB successfully. Set it as primary option and left it at that.
Additionally, this is what I have in the /boot/efi/EFI
directory:
ls /boot/efi/EFI/
boot endeavouros endeavouros-9494
Now, this might just be paranoia, but I’m worried that this isn’t the way to go about it and something might end up breaking in the future.
Question is, would it be fine to use it as it is right now? Should I run grub-install
and grub-mkconfig
or maybe something else entirely?
Thanks in advance! Take care everyone
