Linux Boot Failure! Debugging UEFI Boot Issues

Recently, I wrote a comprehensive review on the newly released Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) version 6 "Faye" built on Debian 12 "Bookworm". If you've not checked that review yet…

In this blog I document my journey in learning the UEFI boot process and discover that not all laptop firmware implement the UEFI standard correctly or how you’d expect.

I’m curious if anyone else has had trouble getting laptops specifically to retain their UEFI BootOrder and if anyone else here has seen behavior like this on devices recently.

I really wish more laptop manufacturers would offer coreboot firmware instead of firmware made by shady proprietary firmware vendors based in China.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
