    My question is will it be supported by phones, or just be limited to desktop/industrial motherboards the same as UEFI? Also the name is worse than EFI. I like that EFI abandoned calling it BIOS (whatever that’s supposed to mean).

    I hope it’s also simpler than EFI and that Linix quickly implements support for it (which will presumably happen).

        right but what do those words mean? BIOS is only called BIOS because that’s what IBM or whoever decided to call it, decades and decades ago. There’s no reason to use that to name a new standard in 2025. At least have the word “firmware” in there somewhere!
