BIOS/EUFI Confusion
by klwilcoxon from LinuxQuestions.org on (#56E0J)
I am so confused about BIOS and EUFI. I have an MSI-7721 motherboard with AMD A8-5600K processor. I know the BIOS Mode is "legacy". I've decided to upgrade one or both because I can no longer install any newer linux distro (and I've tried plenty, including trying nomodeset).
Can I assume that all new motherboards are EUFI compatible? Specifically, I'm looking at either a MSI X570-A Pro Motherboard and installing the AMD A8 on it -or- MSI Pro Max AMD B450 AM4 ATX DDR4-SDRAM Motherboard.
Will either of these allow me to install a new linux distro? What do you recommend? I am a mid-level user who likes working on graphics and animation.
Many thanks
Kevin
