Hello!

I usually don't participate in a distro's user forums but have decided to break that habit given how small this community is, I have been using linux for only about four years now and only started using it as a daily driver about a year ago (not coincidentally, the day after valve released proton) and have been distro hopping ever since, I settled on arch for a while but eventually found out about why systemd is bad (yes I refuse to capitalize it that's how bad it is) and outside of that was looking for something that was using something a bit newer than SysV, which led me to Void at first, however the general clunkiness of that system and the appeal of having the AUR and arch repos again eventually drove me here, or will do as soon as there is a solid way to get UEFI working, so for now I'm still on Void :( but as soon as UEFI is working (damn you asrock for not letting me go back to a bios mode) I will be switching as I have tried this in a VM and love it. Unfortunately I don't have much to offer in the way of programming (can just about read error reports and that's it) but I will surely try to help out any way I can.

Thanks for all you guys do for us non coder types! :)
Hi and welcome,

I use personally an Asrock motherboard (just changed it from a gigabyte) and i totally agree with you, why the bios mode is not possible?

Anyway the only helps asked to Obarun users is to make a feedback when you got something wrong :).
Sorry but I'm your UEFI fanboy :P
To be honest I don't see why we still keep using bootloaders so much (if it wasn't for windoofus) UEFI can boot in like 2 seconds into a working linux tty...
Welcome to the crowd conron!

no way! bootloaders are needed

As long as you have a dos partition to do so for you. So your security is limited to fat32 capabilities, right?
I suppose so ;) You should make a thread about why FAT is a security issue! (I didn't/don't know) Would be very informative.
Also I think if everybody used it maybe there would be more pressure to support other formats (wishful thinking of mine)
