I recently installed Kubuntu on a home made PC. Everything is running fine, with the exception of a Creative X-Fi sound card (I know this card does not work with Linux). What I am wondering though is should I update my BIOS and drivers (where possible). I have an Asus A8N-SLI Premium motherboard, AMD 3200+ processor, XFX 7600 video card. Should I even be worrying about this if things are running smoothly?

Re: How important is it that I update BIOS and drivers if everything seems OK?
My suggestion is to leave well enough alone. Most motherboard/computer makers don't recommend that you update your bios unless the update solves a problem you are having. As far as updating your drivers, I would stick to using Adept updater and just apply the updates it offers. -

Famous saying out there.....If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If things are running and you aren't having any issues or feel that a BIOS update might fix a hardware issue or something, then leave well enough alone.Comment
