This seems both cool, and a good exercise, but is it useful? Does it have a UX like a fisher/price toy that you can verify/change your settings on the fly?

Booting is the process of going from mini-me mode/single user/recovery mode to flying.

I have been running Unix along side a Microsoft product since Xenix/dos. ( Looks like 40 years...) How much have we advanced?

I also have been using Linux since the swedish version came out ( first release ) and GNU 0.1.

My apologies about calling Xenix, Unix, It is a has-been wanna-be me-too square-excrament from shortly after release until it's languishing demise.

Microsoft does not release products, they empty their cat boxes onto customers. ( The most recent example is both co-pilot And 22H2. )

Why isn't the bootloader a static kernel mode? It used to be. Someone recently suggested it should be, and I agreed.
