@lvndry I obviously don't know what Phil is planning to do tutorial wise, but this is further along now ecosystem wise: - We still don't have a UEFI-based solution like...

@LiamTheProgrammer I'm not sure creating a common interface at a high level would be too challenging - I'm imagining things like `load_file`, `create_memory_map` and stuff being called from a common...

Firstly, UEFI booting and the GOP framebuffer seem to work well on the Thinkpad, so that's nice. However, `efiloader` currently fails to exit boot services, for an as-of-yet unknown reason....

I've been meaning to fuzz a few things to make sure they don't have bugs that could mess with stuff elsewhere: - [ ] Buddy allocator (add a bunch of...
