One thought of mine was to go into advanced Zorin settings when booting and choose an older version to go back. But since I am a Noob in this regard I am not sure if this will also change the boot loader again and my guess is actually NO
I could just install the Zorin Theme in the customizer from gnome-look.org
but this feels more like a visual fix than fixing the root/cause of the "problem".
I want to have it clean.
"Try Zorin" mode is how I repaired the boot loader. But I didn't start the bootable usb a second time after that. I don't see how that can help?
But I have a new thought:
Would it be possible to delete (purge) the Ubuntu grub theme (if this even is a theme cause it seems Ubuntu doesn't care how their grub boot menu looks
I guess the Zorin Grub boot theme was overwritten. Or should that still be around somewhere and if I delete the Ubuntu one (I don't know how it would work) then I would get the original from Zorin 16 again.
So your link is super interesting and I even understand some things.
I didn't know what MBR in the menu of the Grub Customizer Program where it says "install in MBR". I still don't exactly understand it and what it would change if I did this in the Program.
The strange thing is (and what you said in the beginning): Grub is and always was on my drive although I installed it to the usb stick in the Ubuntu installation.
I though a Stick needs his own boot command/instructions cause it should be usable on any machine and start up the system on the stick...
Oh my head is exploding I have no clue what happend there.
I don't get it. This is the exact same line. How does this change anything?
I tried it anyway. Well, nothing changed except for my brightness. My screen is glowing and I am not able to adjust the brightness anymore.
I can lower it but it doesn't affect anything - it shines like the sun.
I didn't do anything else but run your commands again and immediately restarted and boom - glowing screen
And what is that "nano" for in the first command?
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
the only thing I did was trying to install Ubuntu Budgie on to my 32gb usb 3.0 stick. So I wrote everything needed on to that drive. Also the boot loader.
When I restarted I was able to choose all 3 OSs (Zorin, Windows and Ubuntu Budgie) from a Ubuntu boot menu. I chose Budgie to test it out. Restarted my computer after a while and was then stuck in the GNU GRUB 2.04 Command screen. With the stick and without it.
You might want to check the entry of your Grub Customiser and compare it with mine.
Basically mine is a dual-boot with Windows 11 and Zorin 15,3 and the boot screen is the one you want to have.
