Like anything, to use it safely some (re-)education is involved, getting the
hang of new paradigms. I have two UEFI PCs. When I started composing this I was
doing my 7th (multiboot, adding OS #3 to an M.2 device) installation in UEFI
mode, *buntu 18.04, to become Tubuntu, to follow-up on a year-old, still open
TDE bug, but it's already finished and rebooted.
