Yes, I should. But the (Acer) bios switches back to the Windows drive on
startup, and does not honour DefaultBoot. It does recognise NextBoot,
so I have a boot script to set NextBoot in Linux. I can also do it
manually with efibootmgr.
Windows does not have a simple means to set NextBoot, it requires
rebooting into Safe Mode and editing the boot script there. It's
simpler to boot a Debian installer USB to rescue mode and run
efibootmgr from there.
And yes, I've tried all the UEFI fixes and workarounds on the Net, and
none of them work.
