TIL Raspberry Pi doesn't support UEFI - I once read RPi 4 and 5 do, but apparently that was just a community project. https://www.cnx-software.com/2020/02/18/raspberry-pi-4-uefia... Regarding phones, Google is trying to push UEFI adoption with their EFI bootloader, but that's still some time away. Recent talk: https://lpc.events/event/19/contributions/2257/ Regarding Windows/PC ARM devices, I think the best experience would be on System76 Thelio (with Ampere CPU), but that's quite a pricy machine. I don't really care what Apple does on this regard, they were always doing things differently. IIRC, even Macs that supported EFI, only supported EFI 1.1, not 2.0, no? |

Yup, but as long as you got an original Apple GPU that's enough to just stick a Windows or Linux USB stick and you can install straight from the stick. "Normal" PCI GPUs have to be reflashed with a GOP blob [1] so that Apple's EFI implementation can work with it.
Personally, I just went and installed OpenCore once and that's it.
