Found this in the BIOS of a Gigabyte Z97X-UD3H mobo.

At least there’s a help text. All my BIOS ever says is:
Enable Intel foobargnarfthingy. Enables the Intel foobargnarfthingy.
Your bios has options? I still cant access my nvme drive because hp doesnt let you change the bios to use ahci
I have such a shitty BIOS. It is pain, because the option ought to be there, but the software is so incredibly basic that it exposes virtually no useful settings outside of time and date + boot order.
Obviously you’re supposed to use a modern OS like GNU/Hurd
So offended! It’s GNU/Linux.
Well. Not anymore. It’s soon be uutils/Linux.
'But you have heard of me?'
I mean, LTS kernels exist. Some of the most popular Linux Distros in the enterprise should be considered legacy.
Absolutely. If it’s not exposed outside the LAN, and it’s serving some service internally that’s functioning perfectly well, there’s little reason to upgrade.
It’s a modern OS, but it’s legacy too.
It’s just their way of saying
“You need to keep your bloated system updated, which will require you to buy new hardware every few years. Anything else is old.”
