Is AMDvbflash safe? what is going with it?

Hi everyone i have some issue with my gpu vbios(i bought an used gpu with custom bios than dont support uefi) and need to flash a good one on it. I really don’t want to dual boot window just to do it so i research for a way to do it on linux. I found this post but the github repo isnt here anymore. I found a backup of it on the wayback machine. But i am not sure if it is safe or not. If it is safe why was the repo closed what happened to it?

Just boot a Windows recovery image from USB if there is concern.

The Windows Recovery doesn’t give you a full desktop, but you should be able to launch executables from a shell. If that doesn’t work, there are also ways to run Windows from USB.

You can boot it in a VM and do it from a VM. In fact even if the VBIOS is completely broken, you can still usually override the VBIOS in libvirt/qemu and boot it anyway and then you can flash it.
