You might have a hardware solution for that. On my UEFI, it can
provide the boot menu, and it can configure the timeout. No fighting
with GRUB or Windows configuration. (Though in my case, the choices
are really only boot Linux or an install DVD-ROM).
Problem, if I do a restart after the windows boots and go to the my
projects linux, it loads fine, but it will not get IP from dhcpd
server of my wifi router. Have to do a full power off on system. Then
it will boot ok.
I have motherboards with wonky ethernet, too:
If the cable is unplugged, or an ethernet switch gets de-powered, the
network must be stopped, then restarted, manually (I use the network
icon in the MATE taskbar to disconnect, wait a moment, then reconnect
to a network). It just repeatedly hiccups if you don't do that. On
one PC the network interface is manually preconfigured with a static
IP, on the other it uses DHCP.
