The battery didn’t go totally dead, yet somehow my gaming laptop somehow lost my bootloader entry for Linux.
I didn’t expect to run into this issue on a machine so recent. I ended up chrooting into my install from an EndeavourOS live disk, and re-running grub-install with the --removable flag, since I have yet to see a UEFI implementation that fails to recognize something under /EFI/BOOT.

Is there an OEM with a UEFI firmware that doesn’t give spaghetti code vibes? It’s certainly not MSI. >.>

@maddy OpenFirmware based ones

@izzy I want to play around with OpenFirmware stuff more, but I got kinda soured, losing interest when my PowerMac G5 suddenly stopped booting.

@izzy One of these days, I’ll get something cool like a Sun machine, but I don’t have the room in this apartment.

With my laptop booting my Arch install once again, I shall get back to playing Sniper Elite.

@maddy maybe u-boot (but it's buggy on x86)

@maddy seeing how I’m pretty sure there’s only like 2 uefi firmwares in existence that all the manufacturers use, no…

@maddy MSI has to be one of the worse ones

their secure boot implementation by default checks signatures but if they fail just boots anyways you have to configure it to not boot anyways explicitly

@maddy "Yeah I must've left it at work sorry about that"
