How to customize your GRUB configuration in a graphical window on Fedora.


The GRUB configuration on Fedora is editable with the VIM text editor, but what if the user wishes to edit it with a graphical program? Well you can. The grub-customizer utility allows a superuser to edit the GRUB file with a GUI window.

Install it like this.

[root@localhost Documents]# dnf install grub-customizer-5.0.6-1.fc25.x86_64

Then run it as root to start editing.

[root@localhost Documents]# grub-customizer

Now we can start editing the GRUB configuration.

The initial screen shows the GRUB entries that we have. Right-clicking on an entry allows editing it. The general GRUB settings may also be edited as shown in the example below.
