Hey Anony you're preaching to the converted here but zoom zooms and alphettas think Apple is some kind of God and we need to do away with amd64.

Like sheep to the slaughter. They don't realise the trap ARM has laid for TOTAL HARDWARE LOCKDOWN.

ARM is proprietary trash.
RISC-V is on the rise, and you can home print PCBs.

>>105934860 (OP)
if the arm board supports uefi it can boot the same kernels. i've booted the same install media on a rasp pi and orange pi board.

>>105934860 (OP)
Why would I want to slow down my machine with code unrelated to it?

>>105935252
Why do you mutts equate ARM with Apple
>TOTAL HARDWARE LOCKDOWN
Don't buy shit hardware

>>105935863
Does UEFI implemented ACPI? Why would it have anything to do with booting the same kernel.

>>105936058
UEFI just standardizes the boot loader. It can be either ACPI or still use dtb. The dtb is just a file that can be read on boot after uefi gets the kernel going. That's the real issue. The way a pi boots is different from how a rockchip boot works.

i'm afraid RISC-V will be the same incompatible device tree shit like ARM
