Fedora 29 Might Hide The GRUB Boot Menu & It's Causing Lots Of Debate

[eydee]

I would agree with hiding it in other distros, but Fedora? Considering that it updates the kernel every 2 seconds, and tends to break stuff (e.g. display drivers) in the process quite often, having a boot menu that allows you to boot the older kernel easily is a must.

There should be a compromise. Make the GRUB menu hidden, but should appear in case the system fails to boot, and be still easily toggleable via an option in the Control Center

I have a question. Do the majority of users (including Windows users) know what a kernel is?
