Users usually > don't change on the installed system between UEFI and BIOS boot, do they? It's mixed. Some do it inadvertently, including the case where USB boots use one mode and internal drive boot uses the other mode. And also the case where users go on a "push all the buttons" spree and turn on legacy. And there's some population still of Windows 7 and Vista era systems that are UEFI but default to BIOS, the idea was you'd flip to UEFI once an OS could support it. But if you do a UEFI installation and then merely reset to factor defaults, you get BIOS boot. So for all these edge case reasons I'm thinking a while ago we should have just done hybrid setups and focus on that as the one size fits all. Also, there's a ton of UEFI bugs still, and lots of hardware won't ever get firmware updates again. Using CSM/BIOS mode is one way of working around that, however suboptimal. I don't think flipping back and forth is a feature or a good thing, it's mainly a fallback to avoid a worse user experience. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel mailing list -- anaconda-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to anaconda-devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/anaconda-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
