Public bug reported: At now Ubuntu have default grub timeout as 10 seconds: GRUB_TIMEOUT=10 And provide no ways to easy remove or change this timeout to lower value via GUI.
So now each Ubuntu user at each boot must wait 10 seconds or press keys for increase boot. And only improved users know how to change it via editing /etc/default/grub file. 10 seconds is too long for regular users, because most of time users use default value, and change to other boot items very rarely. Disabling timeout to zero is too brave step, so maybe we decrease this time to 3 seconds?
