Linux check BIOS settings from the command line

On Linux, you can check BIOS settings from the command line by using the dmidecode utility. dmidecode is a tool that retrieves information from the system’s BIOS and reports it in a human-readable format.

To check the BIOS settings, you can use the following command:

sudo dmidecode -t 0

This will display a summary of the system’s BIOS information, including the manufacturer, version, and release date.

You can also retrieve specific information about your BIOS by using different types with dmidecode, for example:

sudo dmidecode -t 1

This will display information about the system’s physical memory configuration.

sudo dmidecode -t 2

This will display information about the system’s baseboard (motherboard) information.

Note that the information reported by dmidecode is limited to what is provided by the system’s BIOS and may not include all settings.
