efibootmgr works when os is online too, so just do same thing, be online when you are changing parameters.i remember in good old days of first android devices, there were million posts about which cpu scheduler is best to speed my android device. only real answer was remove all schedulers from kernel source code. (FIFO). it provided 30% boost ... not one article said that. less code is running (no matter how optimized), faster systems are. less code to maintain, cheaper software is, less bugs, attack surface there is.
i am arguing that booting direct by uefi is simpler and faster for everybody because it is ONE standardized way to do it. FOSS is about extracting money by providing "support". but this "support" is immoral when you pay them to fasten your boot, because they intentionally doing boot wrong/slow/nonsensical.
customized BSD system can boot in 50ms, so you can spawn working vm fast, do we need that kind of customization of boot ? no i would like for distributions to give me 2 sec to kde login screen like i already have it in clear linux. this is not advert for clear linux or kde. it is example that current mainstream state of thing is i.....c.
or clear linux again, you press reboot in KDE and kernel does kexec reboot, so i do not need to wait for hw to initialize for 3 minutes because im restarting for reasons not involving hw... . IT JUST MAKES SENSE
currently, linux is nonsensical ball of lint flying from one side to another because Linux Tech Tips brooded children cried nonsense to developers on Xtwitter, i am fed up with that.
i do not advocate for coreboot in any shape or form, i was just providing examples that IT IS doable for last 15 years but very few noticed. another example - lenovo ThinkLMI - Lenovo BIOS Setup using Linux WMI.
