Grub

A few tips for configuring grub.

Set default grub entry to last used

Although /etc/default/grub contains GRUB_DEFAULT=saved it doesn't set GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT so the last grub entry used to boot is not saved. Add the following to /etc/default/grub:

GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT="true"

Update the grub config:

sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg

Grub config location can vary, fedora is being used in the example above. Find the location of your grub.cfg with sudo locate grub.cfg

HiDpi grub menus

Well grub doesn't support hidpi displays. To work around this we must convert a font at a desired size into a format that grub can use.

sudo grub2-mkfont -s 48 -o /boot/grub2/consola.pf2 ~/.local/share/fonts/consola.ttf

Add the following to /etc/default/grub:

GRUB_FONT=/boot/grub2/consola.pf2

Update the grub config:

sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg
