How can I make the grub wait for 5 seconds before booting in Fedora Kinoite
[SOLVED}
To do that you need to edit a file.
Open a terminal and type:
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
On the first line you find:
GRUB_TIMEOUT= # (# = a number
Use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move to that number, delete it and replace it by 5
Then you need to save the file and quit the program:
ctrl + x (Keep ctrl pressed while typing x)
At the bottom of the window you see: Save modified buffer? Type y (yes)
Then the text is replaced by: Write to File: /etc/default/grub. Type the Enter key.
When this is done the changed info in the text file needs to become part of Grub, this is done like this:
sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg, followed by Enter
Wait for this to be ready, then close the terminal.
Close all opened programs, save your info and perform a restart. Now boot will have a delay of 5 seconds.

Sorry, kinoite and silverblue doesn’t have /etc/default/grub and doesn’t use grub2-mkconfig.

I totally missed Kinoite, I did look at the place where normally the tags are placed and I saw nothing so I presumed (yes, it was wrong) it was the “normal” version.
I can not edit post 2 anymore (just delete it), can somebody with more authority add a warning that this is not for Atomic distro’s? Thank you.
Thanks, I came back to say that I went back to the KDE version. Just too difficult for me to get stuff done. Thanks,
Should you go back to Kinoite in the future, this is how GRUB timeout is set on Fedora’s atomic desktops:
