ChatGPT and Grok have had me download rufus to flash a thumbstick on my windows PC with Afudos and the 3.50 AsRock bios update

#

Then after that not working no matter what, I can boot linux mint cinnamon via the "nomodeset" trick, I've been trying to use afulnx to update the bios directly from a folder, without a thumbstick....

#

Nothings working, the main reason I want to update bios is to not need the "nomodeset" to even get into desktop. Because without it (on both mint and zorin OS) it just black screens every time

then use the noapic param' instead of nomodeset.

I'm a tourist to all of this, though am highly considering ditching windows entirely soon here.

Could you please walk me through this? I've hit a ceiling to AI's help since we ran out of forums they can scan for answers lol

My understanding is that if I could update the bios, it would solve the black screening, and that nomodeset is giving performance buffs but is temporary
