Hello, (I am not knowledgeable on this subject) GPT specs on uefi.org seem to mandate the use of protective MBR (MBR partition table: legacy MBR, GPT partition table: protective MBR): https://uefi.org/specs/UEFI/2.10/05_GUID_Partition_Table_Format.html?__cf_chl_tk=SMjqN9spMdn1nhVis_qsEGSMd38ei83cxqk77OzivLE-1779826234-1.0.1.1-zcn5OFq5VKgR9Pecqr_vCgmepxsdiUu6PMutn0FGStE#lba-0-format Hybrid MBR seems to be a sort of trick to use with enhanced BIOSes that manage GPT but are not UEFI compliant
