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.

Windows doesn't change your boot order AFAIK, are you sure you're not selecting a temporary boot device in the BIOS? Make sure you're changing the boot order and then saving the changes.
On some devices windows puts itself first in the boot order. I've seen this on some HP devices.
I don't think I am, there shouldn't be any temp ones. There are two options in bios, Windows bootloader and Linux Mint (listed as ubuntu). Win10 is on the top of the stack. I rearrange them to put linux on top, but when I hit save and exit it tells me no changes have been made. The Asus manual was not helpful, so it's possible I'm missing something, just can't figure out what.
It can definitely mess things up
