I am getting no where with the F keys; or ESC.
A friend recommended:
To check out rEFInd and download the usb image.
https://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/getting.html
He said that this works and looks a lot nicer than grub for UEFI systems; and to make a bootable flash drive by following the instructions.
I went as far as I could.
In the rEFInd README I saw this:
"Be aware that the disk image file uses GPT, and the GPT data structures are sized for the disk image, which is very small by today's standards. Thus, the backup GPT data structures will be placed early on the disk. Most OSes
cope well with this, but you may want to correct the problem if you want to use the disk for other purposes in the future."
I will use a new USB for this.
rEFInd README recommended "dd if=refind-flashdrive-{version}.img of=/dev/sdx"

Is this the right command:
sudo dd if=/home/edhe/Downloads/refind-flashdrive-0.11.2/refind-flashdrive-0.11.2.img of=/dev/sdb1
