the amount of knowledge about UEFI and secure boot is so low among so many people who are otherwise really knowledgeable about computers (and even specifically firmware) is kinda sad
UEFI is really cool! we have drivers, a shell, standardized networking, menus that let you pick specific files to boot. your os can control your boot device and automatically enroll custom secure boot keys with a single click. it's so cool and i still have to convince people that your bootloader not needing to enable the a20 gate is a good thing, actually
