Is most malware literally going to embed itself in the BIOS and install itself on Linux ?

Seems like an insanely difficult thing to do to target like .5% of users.

dònt need to jump into bios/uefi, but a) secureboot is often off, so uefi app or driver will do.. its not hard. theres ways around sb too if needed. b) ppl dont use FDE or use a broken one. so u can just mount the disk of the other os.. c) can find a lot of other places to hop between oses on a system which have glaring holes.
