From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm experimenting with a 2014 macbook pro upgraded to macOS 14.4 (Sonoma) with OpenCore Legacy Patcher, Linux Mint 21.3 Virginia and Linux Mint 21.3 Xfce.

First, I installed Linux Mint 21.3 Virginia and I could boot both to macOS and Mint. Then, I created another partition and installed Mint Xfce on it.

Now, I can only access both linux operative systems and macOS has disappeared.

What I don't understand is why now the notebook boots directly to grub instead of booting to OpenCore Legacy Patcher

You can install as many OSes as you want.
