@itsfoss not yet. But keep it in mind for next time.

[jaandrle@fosstodon.org]

@itsfoss
Yah, i need that rarely and each device uses quite different keys, so this works for me as well

[thericcard@mastodon.social]

@itsfoss works every time

[alexdevhoutx@mastodon.social]

@itsfoss A bunch

[pleasuredotbox@mastodon.social]

@itsfoss me waiting to see which f key to press...

[ramkay@mastodon.social]

@itsfoss hahahaha

Almost

Not like that
But rapid presses of the fn keys

[rockpick@mastodon.social]

@itsfoss that is the only reliable way. Everything else is madness

[linkachus17@furry.engineer]

@itsfoss I end up entering Boot menu instead of BIOS

[prophetscross@mastodon.social]

@itsfoss Cool Action Retro video

[dtwx@mastodon.social]

@itsfoss a version of that, at least, and recently! Why is it not always the same?!

[s94@social.vivaldi.net]

@itsfoss why not? it is very useful sometimes

[miketestelinuxqlub@qlub.social]

@itsfoss Pure madness who work I guess, depending of the key registered at the right moment.

I'm more hammering a key guy, my F12 ke can testify of this

[jwarlander@mastodon.nu]

@itsfoss I haven't, but I *will* from now on!

[backtoanalog@mastodon.social]

@itsfoss

Yes. I always do something like that.

[kratzen_blue@mobilecourant.org]

@itsfoss yes but only if f12 doesn't work on first try

[rdrush@mastodon.social]

@itsfoss uhh...
yeah...
I immediately knew it was BIOS.

[howitzer105mm@pdx.social]

@itsfoss I only started doing the boot time function key slide after seeing a video of someone doing the boot time function key slide. It's a bit of a crap shoot as to what boot time agent responds.

[mrgrumpymonkey@mastodon.social]

@itsfoss I just used the Pause/Break key.

[quixote@mastodon.nz]

@itsfoss Nope. Been running Linux since I was a small child in a sailor suit. (Not really. Early 2000s. But it feels long ago.)

Is this a way to skip the asinine Windows hardware checking or something? (I know it's BIOS, but my BIOS screen looks a bit different, so I'm guessing it's some Windows modification?)

[parikhparth23@mastodon.social]

@itsfoss hahaha… this is neat
