Kinda missing the point of UEFI if you don't mention that it skips the first 3 sections and allows your kernel to boot directly from 64-bit mode ("long mode") with paging, a framebuffer, and a function to read files from your boot drive, already set up for you. Removes the need for GRUB entirely.

This. I haven't seen or touched GRUB or BIOS in about a decade.
