I want the non-lts version to be the default version, so i don't need to go to Advanced Options and select the last version when i turn on my computer. Can you help me? Thank you.

Solution

You can use Grub Customizer to set the default boot entry. Install Grub Customizer by running

# pacman -S grub-customizer

and open it. Go to the tab "General settings" and set the default entry.
