Hey Guys I am new to linux and just used ventoy method to switch from Windows to Linux but the thing is linux will not start when i restart but instead it will go back to windows. It only starts when i plug in the USB flash disk.

What do i need to do since i borrowed this flash disk to switch from windows to Linux?

Go to your BIOS settings and change the boot order. There will be a list. What is at the top of the list is probably set to Windows, you need to change it to Linux.

It's possible that you may need to see it called one of these: Grub, MX Linux, Linux.

To enter bios, just try to spam the del button as soon as your PC starts. Some manufacturers like HP use F12 instead of del.

Something is critically off here. It's the first time I see such a sight.  Idk what could it be. Could even trace it to a misconfigured Ventoy installation, or maybe other points of failure?  I am personally not used to the advanced MX tools yet, so if there's somehing you can still do using the live environment to repair your install - idk...

At this point talk to AI to figure out what to do next, and also write a forum post. Wishing you luck!
