Don’t see how you could be since it’s a .net Windows executable

So Gigabyte thought it would be a good idea to have their firmware insert an executable on the user's boot disk that would then load ... whatever through an insecure connection once the system is up? And this is totally ok?
Please tell me that as a Linux user I am not affected by this specific issue!

That's why I assume using Linux helps but I'm not 100% convinced the firmware is ignorant to other operating systems. Maybe the authors of the article or the researchers themselves only cared about Windows.
