Due to my respect to your request, I thought about it for nearly 72 hours. I still stand behind what I said: People who are incapable of switching a BIOS setting, which might involve doing a simple web search beforehand, should better not touch any electric equipment. Fellow contributors assert that such people are not in Fedora's target base, as per the statement of the Board. Of course they are right. I am just claiming the set of BIOS-capable people is not limited to target Fedora user base, but extends to all electric equipment users.
