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.
I… Haven’t actually seen Windows ever push auto updates to my BIOS either except through enterprise utilities by companies like Dell. I have always had to manually update BIOS firmware.
Generally speaking though, BIOS is one of those things where if it is working, you don’t mess with it. Occasionally chipset security patches get pushed in BIOS updates but that’s about the only reason to update.
