   Linux will never be an OS, let alone one that is comparable to the GNU grub OS.
   
   Linux doesn't allow you to press 'p' to poweroff, 'r' to reboot, 'o' to load OS's over SATA or NVME, 'u' to load OS's over usb or 'c' to enter a real command line without needing to install additional software.
   
   You can even bundled software and commands like;
   videoinfo and videotest (displays a cool video test).
   pcidump (in straight hex true GNUmers can read).
   lsacpi
   cbmem (tells you how well coreboot init went (I'm not sure if this can even be printed once GNU/Linux-libre is booted))
   lsmod (it actually tells you what modules are loaded).
   Plus raw memory functions like; dump cutmem read_byte read_dword
   smbios (read smbios variables)
   tr
   list_env
   testspeed (file read speed)
   cmosdump/set/test/clean
   loadfont
   cat
   
   There's even networking functions like nslookup built in, although there is few supported network cards
   
   Most of these commands can be passed --help to get usage tip too.
   
   Such functionality is not default on most GNU/Linux distros, although it is on GNU Grub distros.
   
   All of that is a far cry from what Linux offers too.
   
   
   Install the GNU Grub OS today.

     @david How grub doesn't run such proprietary malware is a feature, not a bug.

     @sepples Yes, the Emacs OS should be ported to run on GNU Grub as a Grub module.
