Why not both?
- linuxftw 8y agoMy distaste for modern UI designs aside, sometimes these two things are at odds. If one considers a grub menu to be 'ugly' and wishes to hide it, that is directly at odds to its usefulness.
- cweagans 8y agoCan you not default to pretty and have a way to unhide it when necessary? Macs take this approach - they show the Apple logo until the login screen is ready, but if you need to change the boot device or whatever, you can hold down the Option key. To me, this is an entirely reasonable behavior that optimizes for the 99% of time where you just want your computer to boot quickly and start using it.
