Quite a handful.

    Maybe. I know someone who wiped their Legion clean and installed an Arch-based OS and still had the BIOS-brick issue. No idea if they managed to fix it themselves yet but it’s not purely a Windows problem.

      Yeah BIOS use happens at startup before the OS starts getting involved. While it’s potentially possible that the bug was only in the windows updater, it’s equally possible that it’s present in both, or just Linux. Any OS is equally as able to install a faulty BIOS update.

      How? Did they use fwupd? It’s also not integrated into some kind of auto-update on Arch (unlike Fedora for example).
