For work, the only thing I typically configure via the console is the iDRAC settings and do everything else from there. But in my homelab, I’ve got a bunch of late model Optiplex USFF PCs (rising electricity rates forced me to downsize from the PowerEdges I used to run). Configuring a recent batch of those was a complete exercise in frustration, and I don’t recall seeing anything like an advanced mode listed, but TBH, I wasn’t looking for it either.
In the OEM / Laptop / Prebuilt space I’m definitely seeing move of a pivot towards graphical UEFI, that ones with forced mouse navigation are currently the exception but when I come across it I hate it.
I’ll have to check for that.
