[SOLVED] How to detect booted mode (UEFI vs BIOS) - swiley43 - 10-21-2020
Hello
There is a way (a variable) to know if Ventoy pendrive booted in UEFI mode or in BIOS (legacy) mode, and to select the displayed theme : one for UEFI mode and another for BIOS mode.
Thanks

grub_platform is a builtin variable in grub2, for legacy BIOS mode it is like: pc, for UEFI mode it is like: x86_64-efi
Currently, in the bottom left of the boot menu will display:
1.0.24 BIOS www.ventoy.net ----> This means current is Legacy BIOS mode
1.0.24 UEFI www.ventoy.net ----> This means current is UEFI mode

Thanks
How can I use this variable for changing the Ventoy theme : one BIOS theme vs UEFI theme ?

I just support and commit it, the feature will be avaliable in the next release.
