Sorry, you simple didn’t get the point. It is not just about hardware. Some Cloud providers doesn’t support UEFI boot at the moment - so said various voices from Cloud WG. And some data center insist ob BIOS boot because of whatever, presumably management infrastructure. So, the hardware does or does not support UEFI, doesn’t matter in these cases. And there is obviously some hardware around younger than 10 years that don’t support UEFI, at least not without problems. And yes, there is some hardware older than 10 years. Currently Linux is known to support older hardware. Do we want to ditch that? Nevertheless, old or new hardware is not the issue. The question is: how many users do we want to leave behind? Or: how many users must we leave behind because we can’t do the job. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org 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/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
