UEFI Win 10 1909 does not work #2
Description
Using Tunic 0.2
Completely clean install of W10 Edu 1909 64-bit in a UEFI KVM VM does not work.
Used the Erase entire disk option, with every form using 'test' except for Computer name and Ubuntu 19.10.
The ISO downloads and computer simply reboots back into Windows normally, and nothing else happens.

Thanks for the report. I'll take a look in a few hours when I get home from work.
Would you mind trying Mint Cinnamon 19.3 and see if that works?

Same thing with Mint.

This "fix" broke other distros.

The problem was that the grubx64.efi that comes with Ubuntu 19.10 has different hard-coded defaults than the one that comes with Mint 19. Mint 19 uses Ubuntu 18.04's.
I believe @C0rn3j also had trouble with re-testing Mint because Tunic left some files behind from the Ubuntu 19.10 install attempt.
Sometime in the next few weeks I'll change to a consistent version of grub for the iso boot and ignore whatever comes with an iso.

I still have the same issue with both 19.10 and Mint with the 0.2.1 release.
#2 * Grub: always overwrite
fixes #2 - Grub for Windows, instead of from iso.
