My PC (self built with Asus motherboard) was a Linux-only machine until I added a fresh install of Win10 on a separate drive using Ventoy. I use Linux Mint 95% of the time and want to automatically boot into Linux, preferably without showing GRUB. I have Fast Boot turned off, and I keep resetting the order in BIOS only to have the PC automatically boot right into Windows. How do I stop Win 10 from overrriding everything?

    Windows doesn’t change your boot order AFAIK, are you sure you’re not selecting a temporary boot device in the BIOS? Make sure you’re changing the boot order and then saving the changes.

      On some devices windows puts itself first in the boot order. I’ve seen this on some HP devices.

      I don’t think I am, there shouldn’t be any temp ones. There are two options in bios, Windows bootloader and Linux Mint (listed as ubuntu). Win10 is on the top of the stack. I rearrange them to put linux on top, but when I hit save and exit it tells me no changes have been made. The Asus manual was not helpful, so it’s possible I’m missing something, just can’t figure out what.
