I quit going to Subway when they changed their whole menu. I went and asked for a spicy italian, blank stare from the employee, “uh, that’s not on the menu”. I said “Okay” and left. The menu wasn’t structured to “make your own” thing not on the menu. Subway was never spectacular food but serviceable, quick, and fairly inexpensive. Not the case anymore, and the weird shit they’ve advertised lately looks awful. FFS, ad are supposed to make things look better than they are, so if these ads look better than the real thing, it must be dreadful irl.

I appreciate the reply, I’ll have to try that. I ran some other fix commands earlier but haven’t tested with a reboot yet. If the pc tries to boot to windows (without Grub), I literally have to power off the psu until the cmos clears, then turn back on in order to get to the boot menu. Win 10 once had a uefi setting console, but it’s no more, apparently. If my earlier commands or your fix doesn’t work, bye windows.

Edit: neither worked. Efibbootmgr WILL move Mint up in the boot order but windows always stays on top. Figures. I thought about deleting the windows boot Mgr entry, but I’m not sure what that would do. Making the winbootmgr inactive fails. Idk.

Edit2: I decided fuck it; deleted the windows entry in efibbootmgr. Seems to have fixed it. I can still boot to windows if I choose but the select OS option comes up by default now. Yay. It appears winbootmgr has reinserted itself in efibootmgr but as a lower priority than Mint. Oddly, I’m still getting a “Grubx64.efi not found” message for half a second before the OS select comes up. I can live with that unless it’s a sign of problems to come?

The only issue I have now is that Grub is not loading to select Mint or Windows, so the compter loads Windows by defailt. I have to go into the BIOS boot menu in order to load Mint anytime the computer restarts. Not the end of the world, but annoying. I tried a few ‘fixes’ from the forums, with no change. Once I’m into Mint, everything I need is working as intended. I may just remove Windows entirely if it bothers me more.

This post inspired me to reinstall Mint finally, after years of Windows frustration. I’ve played around with Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora over the years, but I’m ready for Mint as my daily. I still have dual boot with Windows (for now) and am still working out Grub bugs, but otherwise, it’s going great so far!

Gross.
