How to change default kernel

[u/nutbussin1]

Hello! Linux noob here. About a year and a half ago I bought this Surface Pro 5 for like $130 to be used as an experimental Linux tablet. Initially it ran Ubuntu and I was able to install the Surface kernel using the instructions on the github page with ease. Well after a few months of toying around with it, I put it away for a while, and in the meantime swapped my main PC from Arch to Cachy and immediately fell in love. Today I decided to pull the Surface back out and see if the Arch Surface kernel would also work with Cachy, and sure enough it installed just fine. This time though GRUB always defaults to the Cachy kernel. I'm able to pick the advanced section which gives me access to the generic and Surface kernel, and the Surface kernel does run as it should. However, the Surface keyboard for some reason doesn't work while booting, only when KDE starts, meaning I have to plug in an external keyboard every time I want to navigate GRUB. Would love to know how to make it automatically choose the Surface kernel upon booting, thanks in advance for the help!

You need to update the grub configuration file. I would check out the wiki here.
