Edit GRUB with GRUB Customizer in Linux

by Posted on

GRUB is the ugly yet essential software that allows you to boot into multiple operating systems (like Windows and Linux) on a computer. It’s about as bare bones as a GUI can get, but you can still customize it a bit with the free GRUB Customizer app for Linux.

GRUB Customizer will help you do stuff like

  • bump up the default position of Windows in boot menu
  • change the timeout duration, or override the GRUB menu altogether
  • change the theme, resolution, and colors of the menu

If you dual-boot (or triple-boot; the more, the merrier!) operating systems on your computer, and Linux is one of them, GRUB Customizer is a useful app to have.

You can find GRUB Customizer in your Linux distro’s software repository (like Software Centre in Ubuntu), or learn more here.
