From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

From my experience: F2, F8, F9, F10, F12, Delete.
I always wondered why none of them could agree on which f key does what, especially when they all already agree that ctrl-alt-del restart the computer
Ctrl-alt-del was part of the IBM PC BIOS, which everyone cloned. There was no boot menu or configuration interface back then.
My asrock mobo takes an F9 for bios and F11 for boot menu
My problem is that secure boot blocks it. Ventoy plugson says "secure boot support enable"
Go to the BIOS/UEFI settings and disable secure boot
My Asus laptop is hold ESC. Need to start pressing it before or very shortly after the power button is pressed or the window is missed.
