How to find out what bootloader I'm using and then disable the 5 seconds delay? (lemmy.ml)

I never booted into more than one OS, I only have one. I've no use for the 5 seconds for selection.

I've no clue what bootloader I have... I think not grub, because I cannot find any grub files besides

/etc/grub.d/ with 2 files: 15_ostree 35_fwupd

and grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg results in bash: grub-mkconfig: command not found

I remember in the past turning off the 5 seconds, but I reinstalled my system after Plasma 6 release.

I use EndeavourOS with KDE if that matters/helps.

sudo nano efi/loader/loader.conf

[insert password]

and edit the timeout to =0 (or whatever your preference may be)
