Actually, Coreboot has a SeaBIOS payload as well, so the x86_64 Chromebooks are "BIOS-boot-capable" systems. (Coreboot also has a GRUB payload, which is used by early Purism devices, before they switched to SeaBIOS, and is used by all x86_64 Libreboot systems). People are still using systems from before 2019. More importantly, people are still using systems from 2010-2012 in Fedora, as demonstrated by this thread. -- John M.
