  • Is there a linux distro that comes with a GUI tool for editing UEFI boot menu?
    1 project | /r/linuxquestions | 2 Nov 2023
    Elinvention/efiboots: Manage EFI boot loader entries with this simple GUI works fine. There is a one-liner install for most distros in the Debian, Arch, and Fedora families if that'll do (and what you wanted). It is too esoteric for default inclusion on any distro that I've tried.
  • Grub boot manager not loading after windows 11 update
    1 project | /r/Ubuntu | 23 Apr 2023
    Use efiboots to add (or prioritize) efi entry for ubuntu.
  • Dual boot - Grub not showing
    1 project | /r/linux4noobs | 6 Aug 2022
    Install efibootmgr on your system. It should automatically be installed on most distros. Then download this GitHub repo and run the file called efiboots. Change the order to your preference, and save.
  • EasyUEFI equivalent for Linux

    Maybe try: https://github.com/Elinvention/efiboots
  • Installing Pop_OS without overwriting Windows Bootloader
    1 project | /r/pop_os | 19 Feb 2022
    The machine boots in EFI mode? Every time Pop is installed, it always set itself as the first (default) option in the EFI boot menu. Unless you install manually and do not install the bootloader, I don't think you can avoid this. However, once in Pop!_OS, you can use efibootmgr (or install efibootmgr-gui for a GUI) and change the boot order or add the missing Windoze option back.
  • Remove entry from boot menu
    1 project | /r/ManjaroLinux | 12 Jan 2022
    The 'blue' part of the 'blue menu' makes me think this might be some Windows menu, rather than the actual UEFI menu. With that said, if you want to edit the UEFI menu (and see if that changes the menu you are seeing) Linux has a couple of utilities to do just that: efibootmgr is a command line utility, and this project provides a simple GUI for it.
  • Graphical UEFI boot-target picker?
    1 project | /r/linuxquestions | 1 Dec 2021
  • How do I delete past iso’s from boot menu?
    1 project | /r/linux4noobs | 15 Oct 2021
    since i agree with most of the other posters that op was most likely seeing efi boot entries (stored in mobo nvram), efibootmgr seems like the best tool for the job on a linux system. i have never used it, but someone else mentioned that there is a gui version: https://github.com/Elinvention/efibootmgr-gui
  • Something is Wrong with GRUB
    1 project | /r/pop_os | 10 Oct 2021
    If the ESP partition still has the booloader for Windoze, you need to create the enrty in the EFI boot menu menu for it. One was is booting from any Linux distro and using efibootmgr to create the entry. It is a bit complicated, but you can find tutorials online. Or use efibootmgr-GUI.
  • Windows loader from Linux
    1 project | /r/linux | 6 Feb 2021
    You could look into a combination of using efibootmgr (there's this for a gui https://github.com/Elinvention/efibootmgr-gui) on the linux side and this on windows: https://github.com/pgaskin/bootnext
