Default GRUB Config is set to skip menu #429

Closed secretmango closed 1 year ago

secretmango commented 1 year ago

Describe the bug Silverblue and Kinoite use GRUB2 to be able to switch to different deployments. But by default Grub is not even shown. This is critical also for things like Dualbooting, as this Distro will then just "take over"

To Reproduce Install Fedora Kinoite fresh and boot it up

Expected behavior Grub has to show available deployments (also dualboot) and stay open for 10s

OS version: Fedora Kinoite 37 fresh install, dont know the version but happens since months

Additional context Dualbooting with another OS

This has been the default behavior for Fedora since Fedora 29: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/HiddenGrubMenu.

You can get the menu by pressing shift or F8 during boot or completely disable hiding the menu by editing the GRUB config.

Better support for dual boot setups is tracked in: https://github.com/fedora-silverblue/issue-tracker/issues/284

Thanks, understandable decision.

Maybe add a note on the boot screen? It is currently not visible how to do that, like the hidden boot menu on Acer, vs everything instructed on Thinkpads. Great for usability.

Also maybe using things like grub themes improves look a lot and also works on ostree.
