ASUS Laptop noticed message in boot up Solus 4.4 from ASUS GL702VSK laptop?

So on my ASUS Laptop I noticed these messages in booting up Solus Gnome 4.4 from ISO drive. and possible also the plasma version has some of these errors too, I haven't bootup the plasma KDE 4.4 in a while but I think it shares some of these error between both versions of this distro on my laptop.

Hardware is stuff from dmesg -kern -- Text that was in red in jpg screen photo, took with my android tablet.

[ 0.000000] tsc: Detected 2800.000 MHz processor
[ 0.000000] tsc: Detected 2799.927 MHz TSC

can any of these be fixed when installing and updating it on laptop, or a eopkg upgrade system fixes in the startup messages? I noticed some of these in other distro on startup too. like fedora 38 and opensuse, and debian and ubuntu I think get some of these texts in the startup kernel on this laptop.

Below I did a edit of some of the text from dmesg if that helps, I have a full text of it but I don't know how to share it, I think the red text is the images is the most important things on my laptop, that might need to be fixed.

I noticed booting up Fedora Silverblue right before its grub2 loader it glichies on the monitor screen, otherwise it boots up and runs fine, but these messages are seen in solus 4.4 gnome.

I have no idea what SGX is in the BIOS as its not a setting I seen when looking at the BIOS on this laptop model? its a flag message in red that gets show on the startup of solus and a few other linux, I also gotten a message before saying that the blutooth features are not fully understood type message by linux distro, but I don't think solus gets that message, I think that was in either fedora or opensuse. that I seen a message in bootup about the blutooth features before the X server had started on that USB drive.

Link to my opensuse forums post below, I shared it here too since I am using opensuse linux installed on hard drive on this laptop at this time. but I got these message from USB drive in live gnome mode with dmesg with solus 4.4 bootup. I could of taken the images also in opensuse I just haven't at this time. will look into taking some logs in opensuse later on.

these are seen on from old motherboard running solus G1.Assassin 2 (rev. 1.0) and Z690 GIGABYTE AORUS MASTER motherboards, ran solus gnome 4.4 on it too but didn't install it, the bigger text is from my G! Assassins 2 and the smaler text messages seen from my newer desktop like the Warning: unprivileged eBPF is enabled with eIBRS on, data leaks possible vis spectre v2 BHB attacks seen bootup offline on my Z690 Gigabyte AORUS motherboard

EDAC sbidge text in above images are from and no codecs found messages from from G1.Assassin 2, WRT Invaild buffer destination below Intel WiFi 6E is internet hardware on z690 motherboard. if this information helps get these fixed in linux kernels for these two type of desktops.

also I shared these images on opensuse forums too. since there seen in more than one linux and I using opensuse installed on hard drive on old desktop with G! Assassins motherboard.

data leak possible on CPU is harmless in red text? also it provides links, to more information which I have no idea even what to do with that infomation or how to take it.

also what about this text seen on my Intel i9 12900k processor, I have this pc running windows 11 at this time, but is this message below really harmless? I never even seen any Spectre type text in windows 11 so I don't even know if that detected by mistake on booting up solus 4.4 gnome live ISO on that newer desktop.
https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Tumbleweed_installation

I am downloading live CD images from this page for tumbleweed to see if the dmesg --kern is also in that build of Linux too, just in case some of these are only solus specific.
openSUSE-Tumbleweed-GNOME-Live-x86_64-Snapshot20230801.iso is what I plan on testing out next, again if the red text is normal that is fine, but I don't think all Linux distro share all the same messages on them.

Warning: unprivileged eBPF is enabled with eIBRS on, data leaks possible vis spectre v2 BHB attacks -- is this really harmless and doesn't affect Linux in any way? again I am waiting for a few more newer Linux distro are even released before I even think about installing or dual booting Linux on my newer hardware at home.

Just wanted to let you know that,

they also went and hide my posts there they set them to unlisted, so whoever did yell at me about posting about bugs in their kernel must of been very mad or that is normal admin behavior to hide posts from American's, since if I recall suse is a German released Linux distro if I recall I heard that correctly on distrowatch website as in outside of the united states linux project, but that might of had nothing to do with it, it might just be normal behavior. I might just be seeing a thing that not really there, in any case, I deleted my opensuse account, if I want to I just create a new one later on if I feel the need to, I also like Fedora 38 silverblue and its kinote thing, but when I tried updating that silverblue on my laptop it was taking forever with the terminal command, I don't know I had used the info from RPMFusion on nvidia for silverblue, I had it all working, but it was taking forever to update it, otherwise I do prefer fedora over opensuse in any case. what I like about opensuse was it had better working support in MicroOS for flatpak and flathub, otherwise yes I would prefer fedora over it if not for that one thing. firefox is not updatable in fedora compared to opensuse. but that's the only difference for me between the two of them.

This is really the only legitimate warning you've screenshotted. It's harmless as no Spectre v2 attacks have ever been demonstrated in the wild, but you are welcome to disable unprivileged BPF as you likely have no use for it. You can use the sysctl kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled=2 to disable it.

I have no idea even what that is on my newer desktop with the Intel i9 processor , I can't do that command since I was running it on live ISO mode on USB drive, and not installing it to that pc I might wait a year or two like when that hardware is less new to before I install linux to one of my other 1TB drives in it, plus I don't know has well nvidia rtx 3070 handles linux, also it has an built in Intel 3D card on the z690 gigabyte motherboard, unlike my older desktop which I do have linux on the only display on that gigabyte is from the nvidia card, since my older desktop does not have an Intel 3D card on its motherboard.

I think sysctl kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled=2 is requires it to be running from the hardware to take effect on a reboot correct? this is the last thing really I ask about today since I want to go offline to watch tv.
