From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I guess but bios was a thing way before uefi and while it apparently also was a pain because people implemented it differently it did work.
Afaik the mein problem with arm is the discoverability of the hardware on the bus. For x86 it's pretty dynamic but arm needs something called a device tree.
