Re:Fedora considers deprecating legacy BIOS

The last new PC that I have seen, and which still had legacy BIOS booting support, was a Dell laptop purchased in Q2 2021.
However, it was a model launched in the second half of 2020. It is indeed possible that the models introduced since 2021 might omit the legacy BIOS booting support.
> Intel stopped shipping the last vestiges of BIOS support in 2020 (as have other vendors, and Apple and Microsoft), so this is clearly the way things are heading - and therefore aligns with Fedora's "First" objective.
You may not have seen many computers yet without legacy BIOS compatibility but this is going to be the norm for new computers very soon.
