Browsing for some hardware to assemble a new system, nn AMD MSI motherboard caught my attention.
Checking the motherboard compatibility list got me really miffed, as updating BIOS is apparently impossible if not on Window$ and all supported CPUs with integrated graphics require later updates.
MSI was the first brand where I ran Linux, on a Megabook. It installed smoothly, ran flawlessly and even improved battery life and hardware output above what the competition achieved.
Looks like those times are past.
worst case you can install w10 once now and years from now you can just run a Windows live usb if needed
I don’t like MSI as a manufacturer, but compatibility is not a real concern if not muleheaded about it.
