I appreciate the reply, I’ll have to try that. I ran some other fix commands earlier but haven’t tested with a reboot yet. If the pc tries to boot to windows (without Grub), I literally have to power off the psu until the cmos clears, then turn back on in order to get to the boot menu. Win 10 once had a uefi setting console, but it’s no more, apparently. If my earlier commands or your fix doesn’t work, bye windows.

Edit: neither worked. Efibbootmgr WILL move Mint up in the boot order but windows always stays on top. Figures. I thought about deleting the windows boot Mgr entry, but I’m not sure what that would do. Making the winbootmgr inactive fails. Idk.

Edit2: I decided fuck it; deleted the windows entry in efibbootmgr. Seems to have fixed it. I can still boot to windows if I choose but the select OS option comes up by default now. Yay. It appears winbootmgr has reinserted itself in efibootmgr but as a lower priority than Mint. Oddly, I’m still getting a “Grubx64.efi not found” message for half a second before the OS select comes up. I can live with that unless it’s a sign of problems to come?

The only issue I have now is that Grub is not loading to select Mint or Windows, so the compter loads Windows by defailt. I have to go into the BIOS boot menu in order to load Mint anytime the computer restarts. Not the end of the world, but annoying. I tried a few ‘fixes’ from the forums, with no change. Once I’m into Mint, everything I need is working as intended. I may just remove Windows entirely if it bothers me more.

This post inspired me to reinstall Mint finally, after years of Windows frustration. I’ve played around with Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora over the years, but I’m ready for Mint as my daily. I still have dual boot with Windows (for now) and am still working out Grub bugs, but otherwise, it’s going great so far!

Who cares? Fuck reddit. Half the content is bots anyway. So, bots stealing content to train AI to make content, which the bots will steal and repost. Circle of death for reddit. Good luck with that IPO.

Wow, I had forgotten. Let’s not actually.

Funny story, I have a coworker who wanted a second monitor for her office PC. Now her second monitor is covered with sticky post it notes.

Notepad ++ is better anyway? Non story?

Crap, I didn’t realize there were prereqs…

Putting in effort doesn’t entitle anyone to get paid for anything, NSFW stuff or the widgets I make in my garage, or whatever. It takes someone willing to pay for it, even if there’s a free similar version of whatever somewhere else. Most communities I’ve seen here (and that other place) don’t specifically ban advertising so who cares? Don’t sub to communities and/or ask mods to modify rules.

I’m not arguing with you or speaking at you specifically, but it seems like a dumb thing to get upset over. There’s many businesses I don’t work with because I don’t like them for whatever reason but I still see their ads all over. Same deal here, imo.
