      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… 🤓

        I tried it out with my Linux box. There’s a step that requires MMtools that I can’t run with out windows unfortunately 🥲

        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
