Once in Fedora, you can use efibootmgr to change the boot order.

Not all systems allow you to do this. My HP Pavilion g6 laptop will not allow you to flip Windows and Linux in the boot order. You can do it in efibootmgr, but nothing happens.

So if you use efibootmgr -v before and after the change in order with efibootmgr, does BootOrder show the change in the 2nd efibootmgr -v instance?

UEFI spec 2.4.0, page 66, paragraph 3 in particular addresses this; but the whole 3.1.1 section is less than clear to me how BootOrder is supposed to be modifiable. I have one instance of firmware that doesn't like BootOrder modified, it appears to only add options, it won't remove them. And I'm not sure if this is a firmware bug, or a lack of clarity in the spec how this is supposed to work.
