Here are the partitions of my SSD:
$sudo parted -l
Model: ATA SanDisk SDSSDA-1 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 1000GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt
Disk Flags:
Number Start End Size File system Name Flags
1 1049kB 106MB 105MB fat32 EFI system partition boot, esp
2 106MB 123MB 16,8MB Microsoft reserved partition msftres
3 123MB 134GB 134GB ntfs Basic data partition msftdata
4 134GB 134GB 537MB ntfs hidden, diag
5 134GB 852GB 718GB ext4
6 852GB 872GB 20,0GB linux-swap(v1) swap
7 872GB 872GB 1049kB bios_grub
8 872GB 1000GB 128GB btrfs boot, esp
On the partitions 5 and 8, GRUB is also installed. GRUB installed on the partition 5 can load Ubuntu which is installed on the same partition or Windows which is installed on the partition 3. GRUB installed on the partition 8 can load Parrot OS which is installed on the same partition and Ubuntu which is installed on the partition 5.
When the GRUB partition (which is on the partition 7) is loaded at startup, GRUB command-line appears and I need to manually type some commands to load the GRUB located on the partition 5 or 8 depending on the OS I want to use.
I would like to configure GRUB in order to directly have a menu that asks to me which one of the 3 OSes I would like to load.
How to configure this?
