Grub "issue"
Hello, big linux noob here. I wanted to hide my grub and since configure-grub didn't work anymore, I edited the etc/default/grub from:
to:
While this has achieved what I wanted, I can't seem to be able to open up Grub if I press or hold press ESC during boot. It shows a bunch of kernel messages before eventually loading the OS. Spam pressing ESC during boot occasionally seems to increase the loop of messages (before eventually still loading the OS). Anything I've done wrong here? 🙏

update your install
then run
ujust configure-grub
also the timeout you added is on 2 seconds
so you have 2 seconds to press ESC at the right timeI updated via the System Update, restarted, but still can't use configure-grub
show your
rpm-ostree status
there should be an update for the 9th
oh wait nvm im dumb
im on testing 🤣
either way either you should increase the hidden timeout to maybe 3 or just remove it and wait for when testing is merged into main
damn, so glad you said this, I was searching this discord for answers and found your reply to someone and thought I was going insane for not having the option back again XD
I've set hidden timeout to 10 just for testing and I still can't seem to get grub to show up by the way
Try Shift-L during startup instead of Esc. Grub doesn't show up for me at all during startup no matter the settings. But hitting Shift-L works.
thanks, will try!
still no dice haha
for some reason i almost never get grub on reboots but do after shutdown
