There has to be a better solution for that. I'm wondering if it's worth switching the boot order in bios prior to updating but I guess you never really know how many times it's going to restart either....
Then you'd have to start the computer again afterwards to switch it back. It's a hassle either way.
I used to have GRUB pause at the selection screen. But it was annoying to need three interactions with pauses in-between (power on, OS select, login) before I could use the computer for the 95% of times I want Linux. Especially since memory training on DDR5 can take upwards of a minute.
Lumine(boot manager) on my PC remembers the last boot choice, so when I choose windows it keep going to that until I choose Linux again. Have about 5 seconds to press a button before it auto starts. Seems like the most sane alternative here.
The worst part is on Linux efibootmgr can set the boot entry for next boot, like it's already in the spec to say "boot windows for 1 boot then back to my default"
They just refuse to play nice with anything else.
