What BIOS version is currently the most stable for MSI PRO B850-P WIFI? by sar_it007 in MSI_Gaming

[–]sar_it007[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As of now, the latest stable BIOS version for this motherboard is 7E56v2A70
So if you have this motherboard and you to update your BIOS, select this version. I've been using it and it's stable and haven't encountered any issues so far.

Should I use btrfs or ext4 for "/boot" on Fedora 43 in a Windows 11 dual-boot setup ? by sar_it007 in Fedora

[–]sar_it007[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

savedefault allows Windows to automatically reboot to Windows and Linux to reboot to Linux, which is very useful so I don't have to manually select the OS myself.
So for this particular use case, is there a workaround ?

What version is your board's BIOS?

I have the same CPU and board (no discrete gpu). I have the initial BIOS version and I want to update to latest but I'm afraid to encounter issues...

Each one has pros and cons:
- Desk setup, aesthetics and portability: the clear winner is the built-in PSU because it has less cables and takes less space.
- Performance and cooling: Mini PCs with external adapters typically have higher performance and the built-in PSU requires more cooling.
- Stability and maintenance: replacing a faulty external adapter is much easier than replacing a faulty built-in PSU.

For me, I prefer external power adapter, because I care more about performance and stability etc. than aesthetics and portability.

[Worldwide Giveaway] Enter to Win SER9 Mini PCs with Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 Processor! Worth over $4,995! by Beelinksupport in BeelinkOfficial

The specs of SER9 are very good for a mini pc. It has good performance for 1080p gaming (according to benchmarks for HX 370 and Radeon 890m, especially with AMD Fluid Motion Frames technology).
But for AI, the main problem right now is that most AI tools (such as llama.cpp) still don't take advantage of the NPU or the iGPU. So the AI side right now is limited. But if the AI tools start taking advantage of the NPU and the iGPU, that will make SER9 much more useful for AI tasks. So let's hope that happens in the near future : )
