Recently i added Linux Mint 22 in a 2nd partition in my laptop. I have installed Linux Ubuntu 24.04 before. My question is: How can i change the order of the different versions of Linux. I want Ubuntu as the default, but right now Linux Mint is the first in the list.
Thank you guys.

To have another option in the grub menu be used as default, you may change GRUB_DEFAULT= below to a higher number.
You may also select options from submenus; I can't seem to find any recent accepted answers showing that though; I THINK it should be ...=2>1 for second menu entry and first suboption there.
Here: show the menu 3 seconds, then go for first entry (note update-grub !):
$ head -n 8 /etc/default/grub
# If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update
# /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
# For full documentation of the options in this file, see:
# info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration'
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu
GRUB_TIMEOUT=3
Also note: if you change /boot/grub/grub.cfg directly, it will be rewritten at next time the OS does update-grub (e.g. as new kernel gets added).
