How?

No dual boot here, Windows is confined to a VM. Even in the ancient times I had dual boot, last century, Linux was always the default.

There's also the possibility of selecting the last booted OS by default instead of a specific entry

[-] TheInsane42@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I'm glad I never found that option. ;)

[-] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

That is all good and fine, unless you need it to interact with hardware, which I do.

[-] TheInsane42@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Then still you can set Linux as default. Lilo had an option to reboot with an option to set a 1 time default. (that was neat) On dual boot hardware, I always set the one I want to default boot, which is in my case always Linux. (must still have a dual boot laptop somewhere)

Linux is my first option, I just need to have a second (Windows). And grub also has the boot once thing, but it doesn't work with BTRFS 🤷.

[-] TheInsane42@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

I don't trust btrfs. Software that relies on not breaking is b0rken in my opinion. (Unless they finally fixed that)

[-] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago

Yeah, it doesn't break any more. Rock solid the past few years, not a single problem.
