Confirm our OS is in BIOS or EFI,
1 2 3 4 | # in BIOS system GRUB_CFG=/boot/grub2/grub.cfg # in EFI system GRUB_CFG=/boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg |
Then lookup the booting item id we want to set as default.
If we only want to switch default between Linux kernels,
1 | grubby --info ALL |
Else if we want to change default booting item to Windows,
1 | cat $GRUB_CFG | grep Windows |
Read the output, we will find the item, e.g. corresponding to the name, the id is "e528434f2b3e4d7c97d97aa4aabb976e-5.16.7", write it in /etc/default/grub
1 2 | #GRUB_DEFAULT=saved GRUB_DEFAULT=e528434f2b3e4d7c97d97aa4aabb976e-5.16.7 |
Finally update grub,
1 2 | grub2-mkconfig -o $GRUB_CFG #. |
Reboot to see the change.
And in Ubuntu, how to make grub2 remember last choice?
sudo vi /etc/default/grub GRUB_DEFAULT=saved GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true sudo update-grub |
