How to remove the Advanced Options from Grub boot menu

The new version of grub groups kernels under a section of the menu called Advanced Options which makes selecting a kernel unattended impossible. Can this behavior be disabled so that grub.cfg has simply one menu item per kernel like the old behavior? Thank you.

For that you'll have to edit /etc/gurb.d/10_linux
Have a look at this thread*.
EDIT: There's grub-customizer in AUR. It's GUI tool for editing grub.

EDIT2: wrong link; look at my post below.

@bstaletic, your link 'this thread' directs to a github page, which as I can see it has nothing to do with the grub problem.
@maggie, https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/38455, which indicates you have to disable /etc/grub.d/10_linux .

@henk
This bug report was for doubled entries, but this seems to be solved with the current grub version.

@maggie
To disable the submenu add following line to your /etc/default/grub:
GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=y

grub-mkconfig afterwards should do the magic.
