I don’t have experience with MSI recently, but I’d be really surprised if you couldn’t flash a new BIOS off the system partition or FAT32 USB. You may not be able to update from Linux directly, but almost all motherboards I’ve seen support doing it from the BIOS interface.
Agreed. It’s one thing if it’s climate change or something where we at least need to put a plan out there even if there’s zero chance of it happening, but for basic common sense stuff like this don’t bother. If we ever get back to trying to make average American lives better with the government, this is low hanging fruit.
