> Google flat-out refused to do any EFI on chromebook because, surprise, it wasnt really necessary. The average chromebook in 2022 has a cogent enough arm processor to handle daily compute on a wide variety of distros with ease. Google is in no way a model to follow. They actually make it more complicated to install _native_ Linux than x86 PC manufacturers, what with their "developer mode", often ridiculous, physical hardware manipulation requirements to enable it, and non-removable Scary Boot Prompts unless you completely overwrite the full system firmware. In other words: Google is actually worse right now than MS would be on x86 even if they MS extended this Secured Core crap to all other PC manufacturers. It doesn't matter much that they use open-source firmware if they lock it down worse than the rest. And "containerized Linux" like Crouton misses the point and anyway MS is doing it too! (so much for those who say MS does not care about the Linux desktop market share).
