Looks like I’m gonna keep on rocking my pre-Covid era computer without an upgrade for a few more years.

Keep it as long as possible, the new shit suuuucks, is built to break & riddled with adware.
Back in my day ;) we had to worry about keeping up with the newest tech because you needed it for the best games or whatever.
These days, my desktop from 2014 can run all of the new games that I want to play (yes, even the demanding ones) It has 32 gigs ram and a 1660 Ti. That’s really all I need, especially since most of the games I enjoy AREN’T new.

How is adware an issue? I haven’t had any of that with my Mint machine.

It’s baked into a ton of hardware updates these days. Trust me, in 5-10 years it’ll be a big deal if we don’t do something about it…like yesterday.
Also, OS doesn’t matter if it’s a bios update.

That’s…not how device firmware works.
You’re not going to get adware drivers on a Linux system unless you’re using stuff that’s supremely sketchy and also installing things you shouldn’t be. What you’re thinking of is 3rd party windows drivers.

Also, If your motherboard installs something through a bios update, that has nothing to do with your OS. It comes before.

That not how that shit is done.
The BIOS just take care of the basics, but Windows do have an API allowing the BIOS to ask for the installation of additional drivers. That process was abused (and continue to be) by multiple hardware vendors to install spywares or adwares.
Linux doesn’t have that API, and just ignore such requests.
