So then basically there's no REAL way to get a "modern" PC / laptop WITHOUT
this UEFI on it? Right? And the only way to be able to iunstall/boot
another OS would be to turn the UEFI off....but without the proper
key....that is impossible? Just trying to understand what this means when
it's time for me to upgrade my laptop....would like to know that I can
install the latest version of Fedora without any problems or issues
hardware-wise.
