Hello openSUSE!
SUSE is evaluating drop of Legacy boot support, please let us know if you foresee any issues. Please be aware that SLES 16 / Leap 16 support requires x86_64-v2 so I personally believe that there won't be many cases where such a system would not support UEFI.
I was a bit concerned about virt scenarios, we should ensure that uefi is the default for new VMs as it seems to be legacy boot now.
If you have any concerns, please share them in code-o-o https://code.opensuse.org/leap/features/issue/194
I'll make sure that product management gets to see it. All feedback is highly welcome.
1) UEFI requires a compatible graphics card. Older cards do not support UEFI's GOP or UGA protocols, so the display will remain dark on boot. The solution is to boot in UEFI's emulated BIOS mode (aka CSM, aka Compatibility Support Module mode) 2) BIOS on VMs is still an important use case. 3) There's x86-64 hardware with BIOS only. Best regards Thomas
Many thanks in advance
