- grawlinson 10y agoYou require Windows regardless. I have an old HP dm1z that's started playing up with a recent Linux release. Solution? New BIOS firmware. Problem? Can only update via Windows binary. I wish I was joking, but quite a few HP laptops can only be updated via Windows binaries...
- qb45 10y agoSolution: buy computers with "generic" motherboards, not OEM boxes. I have had like 5 different motherboards in the last 10 years and all could be updated from a flash drive with the BIOS setup. And yes, this required user action, they didn't just automatically flash random files from pendrives present during POST ;)
