A new topic.![:smile:]( "Smile")
How it looks about the "EFI mixed-mode support" in MX Linux? Is the kernel built with the corresponding "EFI mixed-mode" flag? (https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/EFI_stub)
This is of course relevant only for the x86-64 build of MX Linux. However, that feature would be very useful for quite some later Intel Atom based systems which were 64 bit capable but had an 32 bit UEFI firmware.
More information can be found in the topic here: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/17056
Note, theoretically this should work also on early x86 Apple EFI based systems. But because those were made (long) before the UEFI handover specification was finalized it doesn't. So it looks that Apple's own EFI spec does something different. While Apple never supported it officially in Mac OS X, the macosxbootloader project has shown that it works (https://github.com/Piker-Alpha/macosxbootloader).
