Yoo-fi? Yoo-ef-ee?
They shoulda made it easier to pronounce if they wanted people to call it that

You’re 100% correct.
But I’m gonna keep calling it BIOS anyway.

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.

fuck UEFI, it was a solution to a problem that Microsoft and all the tech oligopolies made up.
I thought UEFI was just a solution to move to be able to work on GPT. Essentially the old setup (MBR)could only max out at 2.2 terabytes of storage, so if you needed more you were hosed. GPT can support magnitudes more storage and could support a lot more partitions. (Instead of 4, you could do say 32 without issue)
that’s the neat thing with software, it can change.
BIOS itself wasn’t broken, but it wasn’t controllable by the tech companies.
closest thing I can compare the BIOS > UEFI switch is similar to how AI is currently being shoved down our throats.
I say “yoofee”, but it hasn’t mattered so far because I’m pretty sure I’ve never actually said it to anyone.
Ideally, I pronounce it “Libreboot.”
UEFI is a BIOS

This is how it’s pronounced in my head, and until now I’ve never had a reason for it.
