Quick question: If you install only Linux (say Ubuntu), and boot your system, do you still see bootloader screen with options to choose where to boot from (Ubuntu/Advanced Ubuntu) like we get when we have dual boot, or does it boot directly?

From my experience i can say you will get the autoloader (GRUB) even if you install 1 linux version (i tried ubuntu and debian and they behave the same)

There might be a way to tell grub to pick specific option immidiatly after boot but im not sure.

You'll see grub menu because it always installs other options: fallback, memtest...
It can all be configured, of course.

Okay, thanks.
I'm building a script to set a customized theme on that screen, and just as I am almost done, I am like, do we even get this with just 1 Linux? XD

@njpugh90 Quick hack... You can simply remove the advanced option from grub.cfg :P

@BugsBuggy why don't you change the splashscreen instead? i mean alot of people will skip the bootloader in milliseconds.

When i installed ubuntu from their website and followed their instructions, my laptop auto boots to the login screen. No bootloader menu

@InterferenceObj Hold shift and it will show up when booting.

Here it is...
