Unfortunately not possible for me. I daily Arch (btw) and hadn’t booted into Windows for months and months until my university professor came along and said “btw, we’re gonna build GUIs using Microsoft Foundation Classes in Visual Studio now, and yes, you have to use Visual Studio on Windows in the exam”. So nope, not uninstalling Windows.
I was wondering if you can do BIOS updates through wine (because obviously they only are supplied as .exes) but it doesn’t sound like something I’d like to try …
Aren’t BIOS updates usually done by putting the update file on a flash drive and installing it from the BIOS? I’ve never heard of updating BIOS from Windows with an executable.
Yeah, some vendors do this, I think the .exe basically unpacks the .bin file then calls some API or something to push it from Windows while it’s running. Probably done for the sake of more casual users who don’t know/want to mess with the actual BIOS UI.
I haven’t booted Windows since February and at this point I’m afraid to.
Be afraid, be very afraid.
If you haven’t used Windows in that long you might as well just get rid of it.

Sounds like prime time for a virtual machine to me!
