Getting to BIOS

My Asus motherboard uses F2 for setup key and F8 for boot selection device key.

My MSI one uses DEL for setup and F11 for boot selection.

Or you can reboot from the OS and instruct it to get the setup when booting up again:

systemctl reboot --firmware-setup
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

You’re right! Most Asus boards use F2 for BIOS and F8 for the boot menu, while MSI usually uses DEL for BIOS and F11 for the boot menu. Another easy way is to restart your system from within your OS and choose the “Restart to UEFI/BIOS” option if your Linux distro or system settings support it.
