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.

Dualboot with Linux Mint and Win 10 Pro. How to stop Windows 10 from overriding my boot order in BIOS on every restart? (self.linux)

My PC (self built with Asus motherboard) was a Linux-only machine until I added a fresh install of Win10 on a separate drive using Ventoy. I use Linux Mint 95% of the time and want to automatically boot into Linux, preferably without showing GRUB. I have Fast Boot turned off, and I keep resetting the order in BIOS only to have the PC automatically boot right into Windows. How do I stop Win 10 from overrriding everything?

On some devices windows puts itself first in the boot order. I've seen this on some HP devices.
