EFI

Seems to me that this my little trip to the Windows land might actually trigger me to learn a thing or two about that OS. Naturally, I’m also planning to jot those things down here. So while installing Windows to spare NVMe drive it decided to place its bootloader to existing EFI partition where up until then only Fedora had its EFI image. This behavior doesn’t suits me as I can’t offline drive while in windows and then pass it through to the Hyper-V machine (long story…)....

Ever since I’ve set up EFI boot on my machine using grub I had this issue with timeout option not wanting to go away. Digging into the issue I first looked at /boot/grub/grub.cfg where I found this piece of code: if [ $grub_platform = efi ]; then set timeout=30 if [ x$feature_timeout_style = xy ] ; then set timeout_style=menu fi fi “This is weird” I said to myself, where does that come from?...
