HI, forgive me if I missed something here, but I cannot find any human instructions on how to use this. I installed the .exe, which didn't show any obvious feedback when installed, so I was kind of stuck as to what to do next.

I'm using Windows 11, and there is nothing to see in any of the shutdown menus that allows me to select Linux.

If I'm supposed to use the terminal.. how do I do so?

Thanks.

I am a Linux user as well. But some software and games are only available on Windows, so sad but true.

Ok, first of all, I assume you have 2 SSD/HDD for two systems. Because my tool only changes the order of boot UEFI and solves that problem.

I suggest turning off OS-probe for Grub and configuring Grub to only load your Linux and removing any other options from the Grub menu. Also, you can pin Linux to always be first or even stay only Linux.

By the way, that means if you have 2 OSes on one single disk and manage them via Grub, you need to do something similar but only change the order of Grub once for the next boot. Like example by default to Linux and Windows only by request that once.

PS I have a similar UEFI tool to the one I mentioned above, but for Linux. https://github.com/Toxblh/uefibma is ugly, true, but it's just a wrapper around efibootmgr.
