If only I had access to a windows machine to patch my old ass motherboard 🥹🫡
I haven't completed read through the tutorial, but UEFITool does exist for Linux. (I had unsuccessfully added NVMe support to an old motherboard previously)
Managed to get MMtools working with
wine. But now I am running up against issues with my motherboard and failing the security verification of the modified bios 😅Stay tuned… 🤓
Yep that was exactly the issue I faced before giving up with NVMe.
I tried it out with my Linux box. There’s a step that requires MMtools that I can’t run with out windows unfortunately 🥲
use a winPE boot image?
Whoa. I didn’t know this was a thing! Windows live CD! That’s awesome. Thank you for this! I managed to get MMtools working with
wine. But definitely gonna try a few things with this since I’m getting some security verification failures with the modified bios 👀I don't understand why linux doesn't get all the love patches like Windows.
Honestly. I suspect in this scenario, the popular use case for enabling Resizable Bar is for gaming. I was hoping to improve my video transcoding experience. 🥸
Linux, thanks to steam, is better at gaming than windows, esecially for older games. Proton ftw
Love Steam for that. That reminds me… gotta get me a Steam Deck!
