I’m having hard time understanding how the microcode patch is delivered. system updater or bios update? I’m fucked if it’s a bios update cos my shitty gigabyte mobo won’t detect the files
Your OS can load the microcode. Most Linux distros will load the latest microcode during boot. Some will even update the microcode when it gets the new microcode from the distro repositories. This facility exists specifically because motherboard vendors are terrible about providing updates.
