I’m pretty sure that warning used to be on the UEFI download page for Biostar boards, but they’ve completely redesigned it, so if it was them, it isn’t there anymore.

I’ve seen some Asus and MSI Boards getting only uefi updates marked as beta, with the next update, months later, also being marked as beta. With Asus, there have been allegation that they try to get out of warranty claims this way.

I’ve had less problems with Dell and Lenovo, which probably comes from them being more enterprise focused. I think the problem is that the for the average consumer, uefi updates are last on their mind when picking a board.

Apple, and, to a lesser degree, Lenovo and Dell, seem hardly comparable, since their focus isn’t selling mainboards as a stand-alone component.

I saw 6 bands during 2 concerts last week, three of them kinda rock/blues, three of them metal. All of them drank water from normal water bottles while on stage. No one cared.

This implies a world in which motherboard vendors actually regularly publish updates for their boards, or publish information about a board being officially end-of-life, which, for many consumer boards, just isn’t the case.

Some vendors still have a red flag on their support page discouraging uefi updates unless you’re actively experiencing problems.
