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.

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.

Grub was legacy since gummiboot. Please let's let it die.

Insert inst.sdboot as an option in the Fedora installer to rid yourself from grub on Fedora. Websearch for further instructions/how-to.
