Why should you care about your system firmware when you're running a modern Linux distro? I gave Ubuntu to people who had no idea what a BIOS was almost 18 years ago, and I promise things are better now.

If your can use Windows or Mac OS then you can use Linux. What does BIOS have to do with it? My non-technical wife has installed and is using Ubuntu. With this mentioned BIOS/UEFI block it would be much more tricky for her to get started. That's the issue here.

Plenty far.
