In a previous article, I showed you how to reboot into UEFI/BIOS through CMD on modern Windows OSes. In this Quick Tips article, it’s time to learn how to master it through the Linux Terminal. It is simple, convenient, and, above all, quick. I couldn’t ignore this tip for my second favorite OS of choice. Let’s master it the Linux way!
How To
Open the Terminal on your favorite Linux distro. The most convenient way is to simultaneously press your keyboard’s Control (Ctrl), alt, and T keys combination.
Copy and paste the following command (sudo is not essential):
sudo systemctl reboot –firmware
or
sudo systemctl reboot –firmware-setup
if the command above didn’t work as expected.
That’s it! After the reboot, your UEFI/BIOS menu will welcome you. It can’t get easier, can it? Don’t forget the punchline: “Laughs in Linux.”
