Which are you using on your main PC's boot drive?

gpt cause gdisk uses it by default

MBR because GPT uses a fucking FAT filesystem in 2016.

GPT is a step backwards.

GPT is bloat

Probably MBR because it just werks and doesn't make me do anything retarded.

gpt isnt that much bloat these days and it does prevent you from loosing drive order when you swap sata cables for whatever reason

GPT because it just werks

MBR because I have a normal BIOS and my boot drive is only 128Gb anyway

MBR is so damn outdated and prone to fucking up. Get with the times and move on grandpas.

GPT requires an extra partition. GPT is over complicated. MBR is simpler and keeps you in control. Lilo and MBR master race reporting in

file system really doesn't matter that much when its virtually a read only one. you only write to it when you repartition your disk which doesn't or shouldn't happen often.
