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.

[Support] UEFI boot order changed when booting into windows (aussie.zone)

First off, sorry if this isn't quite the right community, I did try posting on [email protected] but didn't get a solution. You can see that post here

I have my computer set up to dual boot pop!_os and windows on separate drives. I have my UEFI set up to boot into pop OS and I use systemd-boot to load windows, however after booting to windows and restarting my UEFI boot preferences are changed so Windows boots first instead of pop os.

I have fast boot and secure boot turned off in the bios and fast boot turned off in windows. How can I prevent this?

Hi I am not a linux pro, but for me a quick fix what worked was to disable Windows boot. basically everytime windows boot it puts itself as priority, but cannot any more this way. I would then use the grub menu at boot to select what os i needed. I use mint but since both are based on ubuntu should work in the same way. found this online, more or less what i did: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/241809/grub2-gone-every-time-i-boot-windows-10 https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/68581/how-can-i-prevent-windows-from-overwriting-grub-when-using-a-dual-boot-machine
