@tfb@mastodon.bsd.cafe @jrsharp@mastodon.sdf.org Maybe the best approach would be to make UEFI (or its successor) firmware to be hypervisors and all devices to be exposed only as standardized runtime / boottime services. It would minimize porting efforts for open source OS'es (port once, run any compliant hardwares), and allow device manufacturers to be free from "generic device drivers from OS vendors like Micro$oft (or forced to provide driver for them to be supported)" that make it possible (wouldn't be easy, though) to their firmware implementations to match their philosophy (stability centric, performance over stabilities, ...) like in device specific drivers on Win3.x era on PCs.
