Fedora Considers Reducing The Scope That BIOS Systems Can Hold Up A Release
Given that non-UEFI BIOS systems are quite old at this point and Intel/AMD systems for the past number of years have all supported UEFI, another change proposal being considered this week by Fedoa Linux is limiting the release-blocking status of various (non-UEFI) BIOS systems.
BIOS mode support would still be considered release-blocking but if this proposal goes through it would be only release-blcoking for default partitioning layouts on NVMe and SSD storage, the fallback video driver support wouldn't block releases, and booting CoreOS images in BIOS-only mode would no longer be considered blocking. The proposal is still being considered and for those interested can learn more via the Fedora discussion list.About The AuthorMichael Larabel is the principal author of Phoronix.com and founded the site in 2004 with a focus on enriching the Linux hardware experience.
