Looks like I’m gonna keep on rocking my pre-Covid era computer without an upgrade for a few more years.

Keep it as long as possible, the new shit suuuucks, is built to break & riddled with adware.
Back in my day ;) we had to worry about keeping up with the newest tech because you needed it for the best games or whatever.
These days, my desktop from 2014 can run all of the new games that I want to play (yes, even the demanding ones) It has 32 gigs ram and a 1660 Ti. That’s really all I need, especially since most of the games I enjoy AREN’T new.

How is adware an issue? I haven’t had any of that with my Mint machine.

It’s baked into a ton of hardware updates these days. Trust me, in 5-10 years it’ll be a big deal if we don’t do something about it…like yesterday.
Also, OS doesn’t matter if it’s a bios update.

That’s…not how device firmware works.
You’re not going to get adware drivers on a Linux system unless you’re using stuff that’s supremely sketchy and also installing things you shouldn’t be. What you’re thinking of is 3rd party windows drivers.

Also, If your motherboard installs something through a bios update, that has nothing to do with your OS. It comes before.

Please point out the bios deployed adware you are talking about, or I’ll have to assume you’re just talking from vibes.

Thank you, I’m too drunk to argue with this nerd ;)

well, that article disagrees with you though. That "feature" is only going to do anything to Windows installations.
Also, OS doesn't matter if it's a bios update.
The ASUS UEFI firmware exposes an ACPI table to Windows 10, called "WPBT" or "Windows Platform Binary Table". WPBT is used in the pre-built OEM industry, and is referred to as "the Vendor's Rootkit." Put simply, it is a script that makes Windows copy data from the BIOS to the System32 folder on the machine and execute it during Windows startup - every single time the system is booted.

Not to mention, it has nothing to do with having a new computer.
