Was it even a thing? I remember I had to choose MBR for legacy BOOT, GPT for UEFI.
I was wondering too why anyone would ever want this…but the proposal explains it:
Support for UEFI on MBR was originally added in blivet#764 to accommodate cloud image use cases, such as AWS, which at the time did not support UEFI booting on GPT disks. These constraints no longer apply to modern cloud platforms, making MBR-based UEFI setups unnecessary for current Fedora deployments.
So basically it was some workaround a few years ago. I have a hard time to see any reason speaking against the removal.
love all the folks getting annoyed by this who clearly didn’t read the actual proposal
Since when is UEFI old? Wtf
Users move on from Windows because of old hardware compatibility, pick an easy to use distro, like Fedora. Fedora drops old hardware compatibility…
It’s their second attempt in under a month. Red Hat needs to sit the fuck down.
I’d say look in a mirror and sit down, as you entirely don’t understand this proposal. This is not something that impacts old hardware.
Rhel and Fedora are separate entities and work on their own, but they do influence each other.
So less functionality is better?
Linux is getting enshittified.
Tell me you don’t understand what you read without telling me.
What a stupid take.
Its just because Fedora tries to focus on new technology, if you dont like that, choose another distro.
Everyone said that about Wayland a decade ago…
it’s just fedora and, even then, because of ibm’s acquisition of red hat.
money and american hegemony have tried to enshitify linux many times in the past; but linux keeps on chugging along anyways.
