A comment on Get PC BIOS back on UEFI only system. Parent comment
I am not the OP and I do not do this. However...
Yes, the disk space used is a rounding error and one far right of the decimal point.
But there is extra space used in the human brain that sets this up.
Instead of `/dev/sda1` it's `/dev/sda`. Instead of `/dev/nvme0l0p1` or whatever (I own almost no NVMe kit) it's `/dev/nvme0l0`. And so on.
This could be helpful; I can certainly imagine it simplifying things somewhat.
