As Intel is discontinuing support for BIOS in 2020
«So, Intel platforms produced this year presumably will be unable to run 32-bit operating systems, unable to use related software (at least natively), and unable to use older hardware, such as RAID HBAs (and therefore older hard drives that are connected to those HBAs), network cards, and even graphics cards that lack UEFI-compatible vBIOS (launched before 2012 – 2013) etc.»
«Builds for Intel released this year will not be able to run 32-bit applications, will not be able to use related software (at least natively), and will not be able to use older hardware, such as RAID HBAs (and older hard drives that use them), network cards, and even graphics cards without UEFI-compatible vBIOS (that is, released before 2012-2013)»
Developers at Fedora are discussing the complete abandonment of BIOS in favor of UEFI. The discussion was initiated on June 30, but it is currently very active.
P.S. As far as I understand, they wanted to implement this in the upcoming Fedora 33 scheduled for release this week (release on the 20th, announcement on the 27th, after it has been uploaded to all mirrors), but it has been postponed for now.
