Using /boot/efi over /biosboot in Linux has several advantages, primarily due to the differences between UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) and BIOS (Basic Input/Output System):
===============================================
I think sometimes there may be misconceptions about EFI.
On one hand it's true that not all computers support EFI. But in reality, every computer that is less than 18 or 19 years old supports it.
On the other hand, some of my newer computers don't support legacy BIOS. I think this is becoming more of a trend recently.
For some reason, some people tie EFI together with secure boot, fast-boot and TPM. But they are not the same thing.
I do have some computers that I disable secure boot, and fast-boot on. I do have some computers that do not support TPM even though they support EFI.
Using /boot/efi over /biosboot in Linux has several advantages, primarily due to the differences between UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) and BIOS (Basic Input/Output System):
- Faster Boot Times: UEFI systems typically boot faster than BIOS-based systems. This is because UEFI has more optimized code and can initialize hardware more efficiently
- Support for Larger Storage Devices: UEFI supports larger storage devices (over 2 TB) and more partitions on a disk compared to BIOS
- Modern Interface: UEFI provides a more modern and flexible interface, including support for graphical menus and mouse input, which is not available in BIOS
- Enhanced Security Features: UEFI includes features like Secure Boot, which helps protect the system from malware and unauthorized software during the boot process
- Compatibility with GPT: UEFI works well with the GUID Partition Table (GPT), which is more robust and flexible than the Master Boot Record (MBR) used by BIOS
