A couple questions: - If all you're looking for is /boot/vmlinuz-linux to be booted, is setting GRUB_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub "good enough" for your use case? - Is it possible to make this solution more universal? Maybe BSD users would like to set their top level entry. - What about for os-prober? My understanding is that it creates its own top level entries as well. Note with the 1st question: I'm not saying GRUB_TOP_LEVEL_* is a bad idea. I'm just curious. - Oskari
