So libreboot + payload replaces uefi right? Why did you say tianocore is uefi? Whenever i hear uefi i'm thinking about proprietary boot firmware, and thats why I advocated for including libreboot instead of uefi in theese chips. I don't understand where is uefi in this libreboot + tianocore or whatever payload

Ah yeah sorry lol i misinterpreted

Yes. I am probably misunderstabding things. To my knowledge, libreboot is a FOSS alternative for UEFI. Correct me if i'm wrong. Libreboot exist to replace the proprietary uefi. Again correct me if i'm wrong. Since libreboot replaces uefi, it also would allow booting from usb, no? Checking libreboot website i saw tianocore mentioned in some release changelog which they will not be including in the default ones because its bloated and buggy. They say they use other payloads. I still don't understand why tianocore is uefi.

Whatever if libreboot itself does not allow booting from usb, how would a libreboot user install any os at all?

Libreboot would allow booting from USB probably

Tianocore is not necessary for libreboot right? So why do we need uefi for libreboot?

[–] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 months ago (13 children)

I mean if it does not replace uefi which is not open, whats the point. I am asking for libreboot because it is "libre"

There is a possibility of having 0.01% shit in the sandwitch from water used in it due to some leakage from a toilet tank. Would you not eat it?

Also yeah who known houseflys sit on shit and land on sandwitch at some point in time

Tap for spoilerjk i agree with your point tho

I am probably misunderstanding. So Libreboot does not "replace" UEFI ? Then what's the point of libreboot

[–] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 months ago

But if libreboot or coreboot is first implemented on arm boards, i think many vendors are going to follow up with the same. Then it would be much better since we don't have to risky remove uefi for libreboot

[–] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 months ago (3 children)

I mean it should have libreboot or coreboot instead of uefi since its tuxedo afterall. UEFI is better than nothing but libreboot woulf be better

[–] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 months ago (22 children)

Oh yeah but well instead of using the UEFI we probably should include libreboot or coreboot. But uefi is better than nothing but since its tuxedo we should expect some libreboot
