systemctl reboot --firmware-setupThis will cause a Linux machine to reboot directly into the UEFI. I know it's not groundbreaking but it can be really handy if you use fast-boot. At least your days of pecking the Delete key during POST will be over.
Windows does this too, though I've forgotten the method.
That's weird, on my machine it reboots me directly into the BIOS.
Sidenote: if you dualboot, I can't recommend enough setting up a desktop entry which runs this command:
systemctl reboot --boot-loader-entry=auto-windowsIt's basically a one-click Windows launcher.
I tried it but nothing happened. Mainly because I wouldn't let Windows touch bare metal anymore for anything.
And even if I was dead in the ground would I rise again if someone tried to insert Windows into my usb-holes
Excuse my ignorance, but what's the difference between this and GRUB?
You have to interrupt the boot process to make a selection in grub, the one-liner above makes that one-time selection for you in advance. So you can walk away and get a coffee while your computer does the OS switch.
They don't have to time it. It's a full blown second industrial revolution
Handy thanks
I mean, unless you’re trying to access it at boot time. I just Ctrl+Alt+Del and hit an F button or look it up.
Actually, your instruction complicates it. Just put it on the boot splash, ffs.
