This was a Lenovo. Now I’m wondering if Windows or Linux has a better BIOS.

    I mean it is part of the System running on that machine. So it is technically part of the OS?

      If you asked somebody which operating system they were using they would say Linux or Windows etc. The BIOS is not part of these.

      Nah, the BIOS is what launches the operating system, therefor they are separate.

        The machine can’t operate without the bios. It’s part of the operating system.

          That’s not what operating system means. In fact, you do not need one. You can run programs directly on the bare metal, it’s just really difficult too coordinate tasks that way.
