| Sep 8, 2024 at 7:59 | comment | added | fotonmoton | as of 2024 neither sudo update-grub or sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg works for me in Fedora 40. Correct command right now is: grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg. Here's Fedora discussion | |
| Aug 4, 2023 at 9:00 | comment | added | reinierpost | This doesn't work in all configurations; I'm getting the message error: Diskfilter writes are not supported. which means the feature cannot save the default, and indeed it is not being saved. | |
| Jan 8, 2021 at 19:30 | comment | added | geekley | @RichieHH I made that comment before editing the answer. Before, it wasn't so clear if the default would be saved only on the first reboot or every time I choose an option. That's why I rephrased it to better clarify that the default changes every time you manually choose a different entry. Btw, this saved default is not necessarily the first choice (like "Ubuntu"), it can be a sub-entry (like "Ubuntu with linux X.Y.Z generic"). The first choice won't automatically reflect the default, which might get you a bit confused if you have 2 kernels like linux and linux-libre. | |

| Dec 26, 2020 at 1:53 | comment | added | geekley | "The choice will be saved and next time your computer will boot into it automatically". So it only saves the default once in the next reboot? Or will it it automatically change the default every time you choose a specific kernel? | |
