This will cause a Linux machine to reboot directly into the UEFI.

That's weird, on my machine it reboots me directly into the BIOS.

Sidenote: if you dualboot, I can't recommend enough setting up a desktop entry which runs this command:

systemctl reboot --boot-loader-entry=auto-windows

It's basically a one-click Windows launcher.

I tried it but nothing happened. Mainly because I wouldn't let Windows touch bare metal anymore for anything.

And even if I was dead in the ground would I rise again if someone tried to insert Windows into my usb-holes

Excuse my ignorance, but what's the difference between this and GRUB?

You have to interrupt the boot process to make a selection in grub, the one-liner above makes that one-time selection for you in advance. So you can walk away and get a coffee while your computer does the OS switch.

They don't have to time it. It's a full blown second industrial revolution
