Choose which OS to boot on next restart

Nextboot

Choose which OS to boot on next restart from a simple terminal UI. Works on Windows and Linux.

How it works

OS entries are retrieved using efibootmgr on Linux and bcdedit on Windows.

The BootNext UEFI variable is set to selected entry. The firmware resets BootNext after booting.

Requirements

• pick (install with pip)
• efibootmgr
• ncurses (optional)

Windows users can install ncurses from these wheels. A fallback UI is used when ncurses is missing.
