From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

System configuration with OpenSuse's Yast seems miles ahead of all the others (at least those I have tested 🙃).
It doesn't look particularly nice. German functionality over design. And that it does well. One can do A LOT with it. Plus it's free even in Tumbleweed.
You're tempting me to give it another try after over a decade. I used to daily drive Opensuse with KDE 3.5
Go for it.
- fantastic installer
- stable even if you use the rolling release (absolutely solid if you pick Leap)
- fantastic out of the box experience (usually GNOME for me)
... and so forth. I don't get paid to write this. 😄
Grub customizer can do much more and was made a lot time ago
Mx has a built-in app for this
Grub was legacy since gummiboot. Please let's let it die.
Insert inst.sdboot as an option in the Fedora installer to rid yourself from grub on Fedora. Websearch for further instructions/how-to.
That's why I use LILO.
Now that's a name I haven't heard in a while.
EFI didn't work for me, maybe I need LILO
You ever watch a UK TV series called Bread?
With the Reboot Into Selected, will this modify the next boot only without changing the default?
Yes, it only reboots into the selected entry ONCE without changing the default one.
does it use efibootmgr? if so,how is it handled on BIOS systems?
No. It just reads and parses the contents of /boot/grub/grub.cfg and updates /etc/default/grub
