From my understanding from one of the Users. They just
got 140 of these new Dell 3080 machines, and they have
no options for other than UEFI boot. The 3070 versions of
the machines had the option to do regular boots. Could be
a more complex process to enable it, but I'm sure he tried
lots of things. Got a message about Lenova doing the
same, but no specifics from that user. Went to Dell site,
but there site seems to have no options unless you
provide a code number from an actual machine??
Right now, the user is having to physically remove drives
from 3080 machine, and connect them to a 3070 machine
to do image, and then can put the drive back??
It is not surprising that legacy boot is going away -- vendors
want to minimize support issues and removing "features"
that few customers use gives users one less way to break
systems and allows them to simplify the BIOS code.
You might look at Knoppix UEFI support <https://www.knopper.net/knoppix/knoppix-uefi-en.html>
It looks like they have automated the process of creating a "machine owner
key" (MOK) when booting.
