In essence, this app provides a GUI for running Apple's official `bless` command (with --nextonly).
Behind the scenes, `sudo bless --mount "/Volumes/Linux Disk Name/" --setBoot --nextonly` is executed
to add a temporary `alt-boot-volume` NVRAM parameter for this restart only. The default Startup Disk setting
(the `boot-volume` NVRAM parameter) remains unchanged unless the user explicitly changes it via the submenu.

e.g. *"Restart in Fedora Linux..."* and *"Restart in Another Linux Distribution..."*.
