Who do I have these 2 options at Boot?

[anon45164229]

Hi, I’m new to endeavouros and when I start my PC I always see these 2 options. I don’t want to see this screen at every boot. How can I disable it?

I’ve installed Atlantis Neo XFCE.

This is correct. But if you want to bypass this i think you can?

Edit: I was waiting for @freebird54 to respond.

Well - there are several ways of avoiding it - some ‘wiser’ than others. One way is to boot with another method than grub (which is the screen you show) such as systemd boot - or rEFInd. A look through our wiki (menu at the top of our forum) will give you more on that…

Other than that, you can skip this screen entirely - but you risk being unable to recover easily if something goes wrong. (You get into having to arch-chroot from a live ISO and that can a bit complicated compared to having that screen for 1 sec (which is also a setting you can change to).

After taking a look at the alternatives - if help is needed we casn supply it usually! ;grin:

You could use rEFInd but instead of the grub menu you would have an icon to boot from which boots from vmlinuz-linux image file.

Edit" I’m not sure what you want. You could lower the timeout in the grub menu so it boots faster. As @dalto just beat me to it!

Edit /etc/default/grub and set the timeout to 0.

Then run:

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Can I still do the command without any issues? I’m asking because I’m a Newbie.

Normally you should be able to make Grub boot menu to show again by pressing SHIFT or ESC keys after you power up your machine.

I changed the timeout to 0 but it won’t let me save the file.

[dalto]

It is owned by root.

If the editor you are using doesn’t support escalation, you can do it from the terminal.

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

How do I save?

[dalto]

ctrl+x

It should ask you if you want to save

I also did the command:

[orbital@orbital-m32cd ~]$ sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[sudo] password for orbital:

@dalto I restarted and it worked. Thank you very much everyone.

Easy peasy!
