Research direction

Start by locating the BIOS tab and its existing UI actions in the repository. Check how the tool currently launches system commands, then verify that the new button reaches the UEFI firmware setup through the requested systemctl command and behaves appropriately when the command is unavailable.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

this button would be the equivalent of typing "systemctl reboot --firmware-setup" in your terminal, which i think would be a good shortcut to the firmware instead of having to know and type in the command or rebooting your computer
