It need not necessarily concern you. I had the same worry for a moment when
I installed 9.0 February last, and decided to try it first without changing
the BIOS. It made no difference. If you should later find (not likely, but
IANAE) that you do need to change that for any device, you`d only have to
remember to change the setting at reboot time maybe, but chances are you`ll
reboot less and less once you grow into Linux. Certainly not for hotfixes,
secupdates and assorted other Redmond missives. And guaranteed never for a
BSOD.
