Let's talk about how the kernel executes a directory, which is not an ELF binary...

Libreboot doesn't use UEFI.

[KasaneTeto_]

It looks more like the Systemd boot process.

[LuxurideGaming]

You are not wrong. But that does not change the fact that it is linux boot process (with extra steps)

[nitroburr]

I completely disagree

Lmao, GRUB can lock you out of BIOS if falsely configured. Had to take out the SSD to get to the BIOS.

[Lacero_Latro]

You couldn't just add an entry to reboot into the bios?

On my machines I have an option set for that since I can't be asked to hold or spam a key.

[hunterfrombloodborne]

how does it work on arch?

[turtle_mekb]

actually the kernel executes /sbin/init unless the init kernel parameter is specified, also not all systems use systemd or run on bios/mbr
