I used to use CSM mode because I didn't understand how UEFI worked, specifically the Boot Manager.
My Boot Manager always ended up full of old entries of OSes that I had already deleted, and it caused some issues. This was not a problem in compatibility mode.
But then I read an article [1] and learned how to manage the Boot Manager.
Then I made a video [2] summarizing what I learned from the article.
But to this day, I defend the point that UEFI is not a drop-in replacement for BIOS, because if you install and delete OSs frequently, you need to know how to manage the Boot Manager to avoid ending up with a mess.
