Understatement of the year. At work we run on linux and I said that when
I came up in the laptop replacement cycle I'd get a Dell and figure out
how to do UEFI booting on linux. Then I'd get it working on our gear...

I immediately put my laptop in BIOS boot mode and haven't even started.
I'm just gonna pray that server gear continues having the "run in BIOS
mode" setting for many years to come.

When I played with it in a VM, it failed to boot and dropped to UEFI
shell half of the time for no apparent reason.
