We still hide the grub menu by default on single OS installs, at least in the Workstation product. On EFI systems where holding down SHIFT relies on the EFI implementation actually giving us modififier key presses even when no "normal" key is pressed might not work, there are several other options documented in the hidden boot menu FAQ (also linked from the change page): https://hansdegoede.dreamwidth.org/19180.html Regards, Hans _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
