However, I can't speak from personal experience on this, because my GPU doesn't let me select the legacy BIOS. I'm forced to use an EFI partition and keep running into one unpleasant surprise after another, like the day before yesterday, when a firmware update enabled Secure Boot and I could no longer boot Arch Linux, and Secure Boot couldn't simply be disabled. Before I could do that, I first had to figure out how to get out of what's called "Deploy Mode" and before that, I had to even learn that "Deploy Mode" existed in the first place. The same thing apparently happened after a previous firmware update, but downgrading the firmware saved me, since the motherboard support team had no idea what the problem might be. The day before yesterday, however, even a downgrade didn't help anymore. So I had to set aside a lot of time and read through half the Internet.
