    For now, I have to go into the BIOS and mess with the boot order there to switch.

    Why not just use the BIOS boot menu?

    The second problem, not related, is there doesn't appear to be any fan control software that works for my MSI motherboard's CPU fan (lmsensors doesn't see any sensors related to it) so the fan constantly runs even when it's fine in silent mode on windows with regard to temperature. I have trouble with certain sounds (and trouble hearing over background sounds in general) so this is actually more of a dealbreaker than the bootloader.

    Try setting that from the BIOS, let the BIOS control the fan's RPM, not the OS. You can even make a custom RPM curve on modern BIOSes.

    MSI has a Windows utility to control the fans as desired. I don't think there's a BIOS boot menu, but I will check.

    EDIT:

    Fan curves are apparently in "Hardware Monitor" because that makes sense. Blah. I still have to tweak more, or maybe Linux is just running hotter on my machine, but improvement has happened.

    I didn't realize my BIOS could have a boot menu pop up because the splash screen disappears instantly. Problem solved. Thank you!

    It shouldn't run hotter. In fact, everyone reports lower lower temps in Linux than in Windows for the same loads, regardless of CPU architecture and age. Just means it needs more tweaking.

    Thank you!

    No prob 👍.
