No thanks. Early boot software should only do the bare minimum required to hand over control to the real operating system. If this means some code duplication

If this means some code duplication between operating systems, that’s OK.
- snvzz 3y agoIn contrast, I prefer starting the kernel on a cpu that doesn't have known microcode bugs, which implies doing the upgrade earlier, be it in firmware or bootloader. Fortunately, fwupd, together with UEFI capsule, can make upgrading firmware very easy and safe. Ideally, a CPU wouldn't have to get that many microcode updates anyway.
