How to Change the Boot Order on a Linux Mint

Here is How to Change the Boot Order on a Linux Mint:

To change the boot order on a Linux Mint system, you can use the grub-reboot command in the terminal. The grub-reboot command allows you to select a specific entry from the boot menu to boot into.

Here's an example of how to use grub-reboot:

  1. Open a terminal window. You can do this by clicking on the terminal icon in the taskbar or by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T.
  2. Type the following command and press Enter:
sudo grub-reboot
  1. You will be prompted to enter the number of the entry that you want to boot into. Type the number of the entry and press Enter.
  2. Type your password when prompted and press Enter.
  3. Close the terminal window.
  4. Restart your computer. The system will now boot into the entry that you selected.

Note: The grub-reboot command only works if you have the GRUB bootloader installed on your system. Most Linux systems, including Linux Mint, use GRUB as the default bootloader.
