What I like about the MSI MPG X870E Carbon WiFi

With the recent release of the new AMD processors, we've also been testing a lot of new motherboards too. This one motherboard from MSI - the MPG X870E Carbon WiFi, stood out to us. It has improved so much compared to its precedessors to the point we're giving it a thumbs up!

I bought this motherboard and am delighted with it EXCEPT for one aspect. I have Windows 11 on an M.2 NVMe drive and Ubuntu Desktop 24.04 on an internal SATA-attached SSD. The problem is that in the BIOS, currently 7E49v1A1A(Beta version), the Boot Order only sees the Windows 11 drive. It is completely blind to the Ubuntu drive which has GRUB 2.12 and is able to boot either Windows 11 or Ubuntu. The only way to overcome this dilemma is to interrupt the boot process using F11 ... now both Operating Systems are offered. However F11 only works after a shutdown - it does not work during a restart. I am an avid fan of Dual Boot systems and keep both OSs apart so that Windows 11 knows nothing of the other OS, especially if booted direct. The BIOS must be fixed. (I never had this problem on my previous Gigabyte X570 AORUS ULTRA)
