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.

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

Tianocore = open source uefi

Ok so what we wish for is open source uefi instead of proprietary uefi

That's what I've been talking about, you have uefi here and there, but we need open source one
