Public bug reported:
If I use ubuntu 18, this bug does not exist. It detects my laptop as
only having a BIOS, not any UEFI.
If I used any ubuntu version higher than that, the installed will detect
my computer as UEFI and try to install it on a system that only has a
BIOS. So it will not boot and the installer gives an error.
I've also tried this in Manjaro 21. The same bug exists.
So distributions share this bug in common from somewhere.
My suggestion is to always allow selecting BIOS or UEFI, even though it
will auto-detect by default. The auto-detect of BIOS/UEFI is where the
bug lies.
