You can configure EDK2 very restrictive, But you then have to compile libreboot by yourself with these options.E.g Ignore extern media, you can configure keys in the flash so it only can boot your grub binary from ESP. With tinkering you can make edk2 + uki (using systemd-cryptroll with measured boot etc) more secure than grub.

As far as I know there is no real standard api for TPM2, it is part of coreboot, but EDK2 has a standardized UEFI interface.

My point was that it’s not EDK2 instead of GRUB at the same layer: EDK2 is the UEFI layer, and GRUB still runs fine on top of it as an EFI binary from your ESP. All the things you listed keep working that way: LUKS, RAID, password protection, even memtest via the efi/ insert mechanism. What you lose is only having GRUB directly in CBFS without an ESP.

What you gain with EDK2: Windows boots at all, TPM 2.0 works (the SeaBIOS issues that got it disabled are gone), and option ROMs for external GPUs.

edk2 isn’t replacing grub, it is the payload, I have for example edk2 and grub. It is a Uefi which executes the Grub Efi or any other bootloader. E.g systemd-boot or UKI. Btw edk2 is great

maybe void? its rolling relase, stable and boring in a good way

my mate runs ubuntu on snapdragon elite

when you use the terminal, why use vlc when you can use ffmpeg?

the single problem is when you never codet in rust:(. I am only able to code in C and python an a bit of java

did you tried it, what is the experience like?

Do you have any suggestions for a better/open-source alternative?

when i was a beginner, it helped me a lot to just start, i installled linux mint without any knowledge. Doing easy things( system update, installing things, using nano, git, pip) Then i got used to do things more and more in the terminal. I had two laptops, one hacket chromebook with linux and one with windows, my safe space. Now my safe space is arch😅
