[Solved] Toggling off DOS-compatibility mode in partition table

~/ sudo fdisk /dev/sda

WARNING: DOS-compatible mode is deprecated. It's strongly recommended to
         switch off the mode (command 'c') and change display units to
         sectors (command 'u').

Something I can do? Tried the suggested but apparently it doesn't change anything even after a reboot (of course I did write the changes).

well, it's a warning, not an error - so just proceed!

Gosh, I *know* it's not stopping me from doing anything but if it's deprecated, it's not something I *want*.

E: w/e, it doesn't indeed matter that much now that I know it doesn't.
