I tried to install Ubuntu on an older desktop this past weekend, because that's a solid choice to revive any aging system, right? ... nope, it wouldn't boot because Canonical decided to drop BIOS boot support on their installers.

This is not true. Ubuntu supports BIOS boot without any issues. I booted 21.10 yesterday on a Core i5-540M and it worked without any issues.
