Okay, I'm doing it. I'm giving a fair shot for the first time in about a decade. You fediverse people convinced me.

This may have been what you ran into with the fedora verification - https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/11r7gi8/fedora_media_check_fails_at_48_every_time_during/

Just installing Fedora Silverblue and realised that if you boot into the USB disk in legacy mode, it does a legacy install. If you boot into it in UEFI, it does a UEFI install.

Wish this was made clear in the interface and you could actually choose what you wanted. I mean, I really think UEFI should be the default no matter what these days with the option to change it if you really want to, no?

@aral it's not really possible to do a UEFI native install when booted in CSM mode - it's literally not possible for the installer to write a UEFI bootloader entry, the firmware does not expose the necessary interfaces.

we could make it possible to do a BIOS native install from a UEFI boot, I guess, but it seems like a weird thing to do.
