This is the first system I've put together with UEFI. I know there is controversy about UEFI vs. BIOS.
It appears that I can turn off "Secure Boot", which sounds like what I want to do to be able to install arbitrary OS (like Debian or Proxmox). This is on a [ASUS Prime X670E-PRO WiFi]( https://www.asus.com/ca-en/motherboards-components/motherboards/prime/prime-...) motherboard.
All other things equal, on my desktops I prefer MBR so I don't need to deal with the complexification and botched implementations of UEFI. I have two disks, a 1TB NVMe, and a 14TB 7200rpm spinning rust. The former has an old-school MBR partition scheme, while the latter has a GPT partition scheme. However, as time goes on, this gets harder and harder, because some CDs, DVDs and USB bootables are UEFI only. SteveT Steve Litt http://444domains.com
