why different BIOS for Windows and Linux?
I got a mainboard out of an Acer X3995, I wished to recycle.
First had to figure out the pins for the front panel switch and LEDs. Going to Acer website, they have 4 BIOS to download: 2 for Win8, 1 for Win7 and 1 for linux. Why so? I don't think other manufacturers specify a restrictive BIOS. |

Someone here installed Linux without changing the BIOS, so who knows ??? "[SOLVED] Installation impossible on acer aspire X3995" https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2053938 "try nomodeset" I can find zero documentation addressing the matter. Paul |

It'll be the installer that's different, not the bios. |
