If you are using the Fedora Grub bootloader to boot both Fedora and Mint, you would boot Fedora and go to the /etc/defaul/grub file and look for the line below. It should be right at the top of the file. You would need to change this entry. To determine what to change it to, you would need to look at the grub.cfg file and count the menuentry lines down to the one which lists Mint and enter that number if this file. Count in this instance is from zero, not from one.
Yes, each distro puts itself first - it will also have entries for the Fedora kernels.
grub-install re-writes the MBR so Mint "owns" it. This is what happens if for example you had installed F21 first, then installed Mint.
Distribution: Mint 20, Kali, Peppermint, Ubuntu, MakuluFlash, Fedora 32, Windows 12 Lite, MakuluLinux

I ran grub-install on a terminal and it said "operation not permitted" and "device not specified"
What should the command be?
