You are a POP!_OS user or use systemd-boot
, and want this screen to pop up when you boot.
This guide is for you.
POP_OS was not configured to have the boot menu come up so there is a bit of settings config required.
Option 1: Hold spacebar
When you boot, hold spacebar and the menu should show up. Arrow keys to select your boot entry to and press enter to boot into it.
Option 2: Edit loader.conf
What if you want the boot menu to come up everytime you boot up?
To have the menu show up, edit your loader.conf
as root.

Then add in at the bottom of the file timeout N
, where N is the number of seconds the menu should show up for before booting.
Windows OS not showing up
If you dual boot on seperate drives, there is a chance systemd-boot will not detect the other OS in the system.
To register your other OSes (like windows), copy the EFI partition contents into the boot directory.

Reboot and you should see your OS in the boot entry folder.
Option 3: rEFInd
systemd boot menu too boring? This was a relatively popular option from stack overflow. If you use apt, simply:
sudo apt-get install refind
While installing, a popup should appear in your terminal. Click yes.
When you reboot your computer, a custom boot menu screen should appear. Done.
You can theme the boot menu screen too! Click here for the official theming docs.
