[$] Fedora considers deprecating legacy BIOS
Wednesday April 20, 2022. 11:35 PM , from LWN.net
A proposal to "deprecate" support for BIOS-only systems for Fedora, by no longer
supporting new installations on those systems, led to a predictably long discussion on the Fedora devel mailing list. There are, it seems, quite a few users who still have BIOS-based systems; many do not want to have to switch away from Fedora simply to keep their systems up to date. But, sometime in the future, getting rid of BIOS support seems inevitable since the burden on those maintaining the tools for installing and booting those systems is non-trivial and likely to grow over time. To head that off, a special interest group (SIG) may form to help keep BIOS support alive until it really is no longer needed.
