Nowadays you have to guess when it is on the magic 1 second of "GRUB time" before it starts loading and then smack all the F keys and ESC key and DEL key at the same time with both hands and both feet because there is nothing on the screen that tells you which key it actually is. All while your monitor blanks out for 3 seconds trying to figure out what HDMI mode it is using, hoping that after those 3 seconds are over that you smacked the right key at the right time. And then you accidentally get into the BIOS instead of the GRUB. It used to be a nice long 10 seconds with a selection menu and clearly indicated keyboard shortcuts at the bottom, and you could press ENTER to skip the 10 second delay. That was a much better experience. If you're in front of the computer and care about boot time, you hit enter. If you're not in front of the computer, the 10 seconds don't matter. I know you can add the delay back, I just wish the defaults were better.
