I read somewhere on Reddit that people who use Linux should periodically, manually check for security updates to their computers’ BIOS from their motherboard manufacturers, because Linux apparently ends automatic updates once you leave Windows. I have no idea of where to look on the ASUS website for my Zenbook 14, or if that’s even the right place. Could anyone give any guidance on this matter? Is this a thing that we should indeed be doing semiannually or something?

And what else should I be doing on a schedule (even if annually), while I’m at it? Haha.

    You don’t need anything but a USB with the update files downloaded to them. Boot to BIOS, choose update, point to USB, done.

    Definitely don’t reset or power off while it’s updating itself, though.

    ASUS will have the steps and files for your mobo model on their site. It’s very simple.
