BootSelector is a tiny GUI utility for setting any grub menu entry as default.
It also allows you to reboot into any OS/kernel in your grub menu.
The initial version has been tested on the latest Ubuntu 24.10 and should work on other Debian-based distributions as well.
An RPM for fedora will be released soon after more testing is done.
- I feel like this yast been done before. - 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.sdbootas 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 - but then how does it override the default only once? - It uses grub-reboot for that function.
