@keiththomas the problem is rooted in #UEFI and it's absurd overcomplexity.
The ony winning move is to go with #NERF / #LinuxBoot instead.

#NERF / #LinuxBoot can do 20s instead of 2mins on the same Server board...

@suvuk FUNFUCKINGTASTISCH!
#BIOS und besonders #UEFI sind inhärente Fehlentwicklungen!
DESHALB verlange ich ab sofort bei allen Geräten #LinuxBoot [ehem. #NERF] anstelle dessen!
#Bloatware? #NeinDanke!

The only benefit from #Itanium however was #UEFI, tho I still find it bad #Bloatware compared to #LinuxBoot aka. #NERF...

Maybe making #LinuxBoot / #NERF instead of #UEFI the #BIOS "successor" would've be a more beneficial change than replacing SystemD for no good reason.
Technology shofts OFC and so does the meta.
Maybe in 30 years will Linix ise #fish instead of #bash per default and bash scripts will be emulated by that internally?
Who knows...

@Toasterson Well, the @Raspberry_Pi doesn't actually have a #UEFI, but a simple & minimal ROM that - as @geerlingguy showcased - merely fits a #NetInstaller:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlBIfpBwqKY
Instead of UEFI, on the #Pi4 - like the original #RaspberryPi - the Broadcom SoC looks for a bootcode at a specific adress and then proceeds to load the initramfs and kernel to boot.
Personally I wished all devices used #LinuxBoot (aka. #NERF)

Yes in that there is cheap stuff like the #Pinebook and absurdly expensive shit like the #ThinkPad #X1s that noone wants and nothing in between.
Granted there are some ood devices - for their money - but even the @Raspberry_Pi #Pi4B & #Pi400 don't follow spec and most certainly don't have #LinuxBoot for the bootchain.

@juliank #UEFI is shitty & proprietary #Bloatware.
#LinuxBoot is obviously superior in any way!

#ARM will be successful once mainsteam #Linux distros support it and the makers of said #SoC's start supporing #LinuxBoot as universal #bootchain instead of dozenz ob botched & proprietary shit-nonsolutions.

Nicht nur wegen #CensorBoot aka. #InsecureBoot für #winSchrott, sondern vorallem mit proprietärem #UEFI-Müll und mangelnder Offenlegung seitens der Hersteller...
Ich kann ja verstehen wenn man wegen #TechIlliterates weder #Heads noch #Skulls umsetzen mag, aber #NERF aka. #LinuxBoot hat nur Vorteile weil's schneller und besser ist!

17 followers · 141 posts · Server social.linux.pizzaSomeone REALLY needs to put together an easy to follow walkthrough of the linux boot process that deals with the iniitramfs, /sysroot, systemd (initramfs version then primary fs version) and chrooting
it's so confusing I can't even clearly ask the question
AARGH
I've searched so many terms and nothing is clear on that exact transition moment/step

A year-old project to take out UEFI implementations with the Linux kernel. Being used by several corporations.
Besides being open-source, allows forcing firmware applications to run in the CPU's Ring 3, supports for programming in Golang.
