sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer Installing it is also as easy as copying and pasting the three commands below into a terminal, one by one. It’s a simple little tool meant to customize grub, as the name suggests. For most users, it is much better to instead opt for Grub Customizer. It’s all text based and you would have to really know what you’re doing. sudo gedit /etc/default/grubĪlthough the text editor is GUI, the configurations really aren’t. In case the above command doesn’t work, you can try the one below. It’s the default text editor on GNOME so if you use the GNOME desktop, you should already have it installed. It will ask for your password and open the file as root in gedit, provided you have it installed. So if you weren’t paying attention, grub will boot into it automatically after 10 seconds. For example, your newly installed OS is always the default boot choice.
However, there are more reasons to edit grub than just superficial ones. This is why some people might want to customize it after they’ve had enough of the CLI-type look. It looks pretty bland and boring by default. GRUB, on the other hand, lets you boot any OS that you have installed. All Linux distributions use the grub bootloader, or grub2, to be accurate. Windows has a bootloader too, it just doesn’t let you boot anything other than Windows. GRUB, is simply a bootloader, that is, it loads the operating system into the memory at boot. For instance, someone who hasn’t seen the grub menu will probably never be on this page looking for ways to customize it. It’s like a rough life lesson that you begin to enjoy later. That’s not to say Windows users are dumb, but Linux just teaches things. Most Windows users have never heard terms like grub or desktop environment, bootloader, etc. Here we take a look at how you can edit grub as well as customize it with GRUB Customizer. You don’t need to rely on this menu all the time, you can customize it. That menu is called grub and by default, it looks boring. When you dual boot any OS with a Linux based OS, even two Linux distributions, you get a menu which lets you choose between the two operating systems to boot.
