openSUSE's Grub has defaulted to 8 seconds as long as openSUSE has existed, same as SuSE before it as far back as I ever used it. The 8 is in a select list in the installer's Grub configuration section, so it's easy to change prior to first boot. I always change it to 12-15, depending on how many stanzas are proposed. 3 seconds doesn't give me time to reach for the keyboard, much less both comprehend to what I see and react. This Grub timeout situation is much like desktop font sizes. If fonts are too big/timeout is too long, it's much easier to make smaller/set shorter than to make bigger/set longer if fonts are too big/timeout too short. IOW, if it cannot be perfect (which it cannot), better too long than too short. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
