How to reduce the waiting time for choosing an operating system in the initial GRUB screen?
/etc/default/grub is set to GRUB_TIMEOUT=0, but it takes 30 seconds to wait.
How to reduce this time to a minimum?
I do sudo update-grub after the change.
OS: Linux Mint.
The LVM disk is (password-protected) completely.
# If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update
# /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
