How to find out what bootloader I'm using and then disable the 5 seconds delay?

I never booted into more than one OS, I only have one. I've no use for the 5 seconds for selection.

I've no clue what bootloader I have... I think not grub, because I cannot find any grub files besides

/etc/grub.d/ with 2 files: 15_ostree 35_fwupd

and grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg results in bash: grub-mkconfig: command not found

I remember in the past turning off the 5 seconds, but I reinstalled my system after Plasma 6 release.

I use EndeavourOS with KDE if that matters/helps.

My google-foo leads to this:

https://discovery.endeavouros.com/installation/systemd-boot/2022/12/

where it looks like an edit to the 'timeout' variable in:

efi/loader/loader.conf

may be a possible solution.

DISCLAIMER: I use Slackware, and know nothing about systemd, etc....so tread carefully, backup, and research a bit before proceeding willy nilly!
- And it worked. Thank you so so so so much. <3 🥰 ❤️‍🔥
  
  Whoa, how did you stop the delay? I have not been able to stop it at all, and I thought it was just s***** computer stuff I didn't understand, which obviously it is, but I thought it was the computer's fault and not my dumb ignorance
- This file exists! Now I need to figure out how to make it work. Thank you!~ 🥰
EndeavorOS offers a choice of systemd-boot and GRUB. So, if you don't have GRUB, you probably have systemd-boot.
- The thing is, I don't seem to have systemd-boot files.
  
  Under /boot/ I only have amd-ucode.img and nothing else. Tutorials for systemd-boot mention /boot/loader/loader.conf.
  
  I also don't seem to have the file /ESP/loader/loader.conf anywhere.
