What are the advantages of UEFI boot?
Mostly, that it is designed for modern machines and designed to be extensible. The legacy booting was originally designed for a hard drive of capacity no bigger than 32M. There have since been many hacks to keep it going, but it is running out of steam. The most important change is the use of GPT partitioning. The older legacy partitioning cannot handle drives larger than around 2T. Also UEFI booting is designed with the idea of having several bootable operating systems. So you don't have fights to see which os controls the MBR. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
