Boot Menu and Recovery

The GRUB menu shows for 5 seconds at power-on. From top to bottom it lists:

  1. RakuOS, one entry per installed image, newest first
  2. your other operating systems (Windows, other Linux distributions, BSD)
  3. the RakuOS rescue submenu
  4. UEFI Firmware Settings

These pages explain each part and what to do when something goes wrong.

Boot Menu and Dual Boot

Other operating systems, the GRUB theme and bootloader updates.

Rescue Mode

Boot without your installed packages when the system gets stuck at startup.

Resetting Your Apps

Soft and full resets of your installed packages.

Boot Problems

The system won't start, or an update isn't there after rebooting.
