You installed a new distro to play with along side your other distro and now it defaults to to the new distro you just installed but you want it to boot to your older distro.
Boot into the distro you want as the default distro
Open a command terminal and enter the following 2 commands.
sudo grub-install /dev/sda (make sure the sda is your root drive. No numbers should me be used.)
sudo update-grub
Now reboot and you should boot into your default distro.
Good Luck
