    The IBM x86 compatible PC is dead.

    Long live the UEFI Windows-only PC.

    1) UEFI was first used on mass by Apple
    2) UEFI is in no way windows only, in fact Linux was using it before MS.
    3) This sounds kinda like a bug in Samsungs firmware or in the Kernel.

    But yeah, sure, its obviously a conspiricy by microsoft rather than a ****up by Samsung or the Linux Kernel team!

    I'm sorry if I come across as a bit of a UEFI sceptic.

    Yes because all those other people like Apple and Google were not doing that at all. It's obviously only for MS with their amazing 1% market share of ARM computing.......

    I took this to be lighthearted and ironically mean the legacy system didnt freeze but the new improved one did... 'progress'...
