The warning about a missing EFI System Partition during an Ubuntu MATE
22.04 installation in BIOS/MBR mode is misleading because the system is
not actually using UEFI, so an EFI partition is unnecessary and the
installer should detect the absence of /sys/firmware/efi and an MBR
layout before showing such a message, as it may confuse new users into
thinking their setup is wrong when it is actually valid; this kind of
unnecessary alert is similar to how some websites clutter simple tasks
with irrelevant prompts, which is why when downloading lightweight apps
like the rbtv77 apk: https://plexapp.app/ for free streaming from
trusted sites, it is important that the page remains clear and
straightforward so users can complete the download without confusing
warnings or misleading messages.
