What brand laptop is this?

 thinkpad p51

maybe it's possible to get into the BIOS during boot but I tried like 8 times and it didn't work. only way I could do it was by shift clicking restart in windows, then going through a multi-layer menu, then it restarted, and I was able to just press enter to get into a menu that would then let me choose to go into BIOS

also windows doesn't seem to want to ever actually shut down, it will *seem* to shut down but then boots as soon as I open the lid

hopefully this thing is just configured to be gay and it's not mandatory 
 @d @CoQ_10 @verita84 :Debian_logo: :firefox: :bing: :android: ... lenovo has a thing that turns on the computer as soon as you open the lid, and its something tou can disable. it's on my ideapad. also entering bios is easy and my laptop is from 2021

 this is used so I'm assuming it's just configured all fucky

perfect condition though, except the clit mouse this thing looks like it was never used. 4K screen too, it's really nice

I want that on Linux. When Linux hibernates, I need to press power button 
 @d @CoQ_10 @verita84 :Debian_logo: :firefox: :bing: :android: ... I've got a p52s, it's the Enter key for mine right as soon as the Thinkpad logo shows. I don't have any Windows BS to contend with though.

 I turned quick boot off and now it says F1 to enter bios and works properly :02shrug:

Wow . I hate when the unexpected thing is the solution
