    It could easily happen if we were to move to ARM-based computers. I’m glad their sales are currently failing because I still don’t see any movement to create UEFI with ACPI for them.

      Yes yes the way Microsoft was pushing on ARM-based computers was absolutely an attempt to push for much more restrictive computers that are much more controlled by manufacturers than by their users, and I’m also really glad they are not getting far with that. I think it went hand-in-hand with their push for generative AI tools too, to make users more dependent on cloud services in the long term for the same goal.

      Their failure might remove two major threats to personal general purpose computing at the same time, which would be awesome XD
