Dual Boot Grub Timer

Hey guys I used "ujust regenerate-grub" to enable grub and switch between windows and bazzite. Is there a possibility to make the timer longer, so I have more time to switch between the OS's? Or maybe even remove the timer completely?

and how would i achieve that?

i don't know if this is the easiest way but you can make a file in /boot/grub2 & name it user.cfg & add like timeout=20 or however long

go to /etc/default/ and open the file called grub in a text editor like Kate. Change the line that says GRUB_TIMEOUT, it's in seconds. Save it. then run ujust regenerate-grub and reboot

oh yeah i keep forgetting this is the standard way while my way does work it only really works on atomic distros which bazzite is so it'd work still but this is the all distros solution

Jus fyi, setting that timer to -1 will get rid of the timer and wait for user input
