In this post I talk about how you can change the default selected OS and reorder the boot list in GRUB for Fedora.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Default GRUB ordering<\/h2>\n

By default when the GRUB bootloader is installed it will search for all installed operating systems. Their default ordering is based on the order that they are found. Typically when installing a second operating system this will be listed first.<\/p>\n

However\u00a0there may be cases where you want to re-order the bootloader list.<\/p>\n

Changing the GRUB ordering<\/h2>\n

One of the ways you can modify the GRUB order is by manually modifying the GRUB configuration files. However this can be complex so we can use the grub-customizer<\/code> tool to do this easily.<\/p>\n

To install this tool you can run the following command.<\/p>\n

dnf install grub-customizer<\/pre>\n
Once installed and ran you will be presented with the following screen<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
This shows the current boot order and you can re-order this by right-clicking an entry and moving it up\/down.<\/p>\n
In addition to changing the ordering a number of other options can be set including setting the default boot entry. By pressing “General settings” the following screen is shown.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Here I was able to choose which boot entry will be used for the default. I have selected Windows so that by default my Windows install will be booted.<\/p>\n
Once you have finished making changes pressing the “Save” button at the top of the screen will write all new changes to the bootloader.<\/p>\n
Rebooting the machine will load the newly changed bootloader. Further changes can be made again by launching grub-optimizer<\/code> and configuring GRUB again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
