Hello…
I have two versions of Garuda installed on different drives on the same desktop (Garuda Dragonized on /dev/nvme0n1 and Garuda Sway on /dev/nvme1n1) and so I have two entries named “Garuda” in the grub boot menu. I use the Dragonized version most often. It isn’t a very descriptive name, unfortunately, and it seems like since the Sway version is what I installed last, that’s always what boots, even if I change the boot order in the Garuda Boot Options app in the Dragonized installation.
I’ve looked at these topics and there seem to be varying degrees of success changing the boot order, but unfortunately setting GRUB_DEFAULT=2 nor GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true seems to work after a sudo update-grub, and none of them seem to talk about changing the names:
https://forum.garudalinux.org/t/garuda-boot-options-not-applying/2681/26
I also saw this, but I don’t know that I need to change it from UEFI since technically grub can boot both of them:
And then there’s this, but when I look at the files in /etc/grub.d in Dragonized, they all seem to be generated with variables which are defined somewhere, and I can’t figure out where it’s getting the names.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GRUB
So, how do I change at least the names of the entries in the grub menu?
Following is the garuda-inxi output:
