The MSI GF63 is an entry level gaming laptop that offers full access to advanced BIOS through a keyboard shortcut. The BIOS allows for customization of thermal and power limits, memory speeds, and more. Linux support was tested with an Ubuntu 22.10 live CD, and all default features such as the keyboard, touchpad, camera, speakers, ethernet, and Wi-Fi worked fine.
