New, Dell xps 13 there are no F keys and no instructions for accessing bios / uefi. How do I get to the bios? thx didn't see the F keys in the touch bar

Got it sorted, thanks for the input As usual , it was operator error.

The image has that file in the directory path you mentioned. It's interesting When I run the UEFI/BIOS it shows that the USB is selected BUT I ran this: ******************************************* c@ASUS690:~$ ls /sys/firmware/efi config_table esrt fw_vendor runtime...

I am using AMI UFEI/BIOS Version 2.21.1278 on an ASUS ROG STRIX Z690-E with an Intel® Core™ i9-12900K × 24 running UBUNTU 24.04.1 as the OS. I am trying to reinstall the OS. When I enter the UFEI/BIOS I navigate to the BOOT section and set both parameters to the USB. However the UFEI defaults...

Some things I learned The Asus ROG STRIX Z690E works flawlessly with Linux. There's a CD that comes with it that has ISOLINUX and a LINUX directories. The only thing it tells you to do is use the latest kernel. You can't use DDR4 gotta have DDR5. Glad I didn't order the 4 being a cheapskate...

These days all MOBOs pretty much all so long as you have the option to switch the BIOS from UFEI to Legacy BIOS. I had to do that with a Dell inspiron laptop. But my Asus X97 Deluxe lets me keep it in UFEI. There are some peripherals that just won't work with Linux like some graphics cards...

AMD or Intel? I have only ever used intel. Three builds later ( since I started with Ver 16) and I have no complaints. the last one was a Gen 7. I've also used ASUS mobos with no conflicts and they never told me that they were tested for linux. Maybe there are people who've used AMD who can...

I've been reading manuals for Mobos. and stumbles across something interesting. An AsRock mobo with intel 1700 socket has one lonely reference to linux in a paragraph about resolving legacy USB issues. So I wrote them and asked if the board was compatible with linux Ubuntu. I wrote to Asus...
