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.

How to automatically assign classes in GRUB? (kbin.social)

Hi, I'm not the most expert user, but I've been messing with my latest linux install for a few months. I costumized the look of the GRUB, but whenever the kernel gets updated and the grub.cfg gets regenerated, the classes of two entries do not generate (efi and submenu), leaving the entries with no icons (which are determined by the class of the entry).

How do I make it so they automatically generate, instead of me modifing the .cfg everytime the kernel is updated?

I'm on linux mint, 21.2 Cinnamon.

it's not working, also I don't know why when I went in that line I have a \ now, that wasn't there before apparently, before $menuentry:

echo "submenu '$(gettext_printf "Advanced options for %s" "${OS}" | grub_quote)' \$menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-advanced-$boot_device_id' {"

(I've tried adding it also in front of ${CLASS}, leaving it only were it is, and removing it from both)
