I installed Lubuntu on my Lenovo laptop to give some life into it. It works really good, but this boot menu always keeps popping up, and I wanted to know if there is any way to get rid of it? It directly boots into this menu.

Open a terminal and run
sudo -H gedit /etc/default/grub
An editor opens, and you can change the config to your liking. For example, set
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden
GRUB_TIMEOUT=0
to always select the first boot option. Save the file, and then run
sudo update-grub
to update the boot menu. On the next reboot you should not see the boot menu.
grub
from showing by default; if you have problems into the future you may find it harder to boot another kernel (which is done via grub menu) or temporarily boot with different kernel options which the grub menu allows for. (on some hardware getting it to show when hidden isn't easy, thus just reducing the time it waits can be easier for maintenance/security reasons into the future)
