I was hoping to try getting it installed on an old NVIDIA Tegra device that uses UEFI (on ARMv7 no less!!!), and while I&#39;m sure the process would be a bit involved, having UEFI able to be configured out of the box would make things a little easier. Worst case scenario, minirootfs install it&#39;ll be! :) 2026-05-05T00:11:10Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsvw0l969s98zkae743scjgpycex95j3jyfjuxfp7upgfx36lps4mczyz7q5ulus2887j7hxwslc2enrsncsfgtn05ywkcy28pnp8700xc0705lnz7 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsyu2p7waw2dlyhq3w3rkly9zq5mnqrvax9t9tp6ga28rvuz6y72jgpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerfw36x7tnsw43qt9hdcu'>nevent1q…hdcu</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpqh4xcdfyq02gr0zs058eqya09t88vyz3yqqdt8vwf0vsz2ur244zsmtqxrs" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>r1w1s1</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…qxrs</span>)</a></span> <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpq8vy77ug0zjqccl9z2du8k3xt9anhxya733kwpml8cqqpplwnl64q0dcd2u" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpq8vy77ug0zjqccl9z2du8k3xt9anhxya733kwpml8cqqpplwnl64q0dcd2u</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…cd2u</span>)</a></span> ksh is my favorite shell for no real reason other than that it just feels right to me.
