  • CPU: Atom z8300

  • MEMORY: 2Gb

  • VIDEO CARD: Intel integrated

  • Kernel: 5.x
When I installed LL4.8, I went into my computers bios and set it from UEFI to legacy.

So, now that LL5.0 has been released with UEFI support, I'm wondering if I should do a legacy install or if I should
go back into bios and change it back to UEFI.

If everything's working ok with the system as is, I would suggest there's no advantage to changing.  In practical terms, the only advantage UEFI/GPT would offer is better support for boot drives bigger than 2.2TB.

What would be the pros and cons of each method of install ?
