It's 2023, Linux has great UEFI support, there is ~no~ ONE reason to be using MBR over GPT.

I have to admit, I'm a little surprised someone has a machine that doesn't support UEFI, because the board I bought in 2012 had UEFI support... 11 years puts most machines into barely being usable in Windows.

While it's a valid reason, guy has to be working with either some really old or very specific hardware.
