Support is pretty minimal
Anything above 2008 is not really supported for any Intel motherboards and does not look there are any plans for the future to do so.

Really fast boot
Basically you power up and Linux is already loading. If you are using an SSD with Systemd, it will take no longer than 15 seconds to get form OFF to Desktop.

Dated
BIOS is still 16bit when most computers are 32 or 64bit, making it dated and limited.
