Good to know.  When I played around in it, it had a MS-DOS look-and-feel to me
(keep in mind that was only 1 system that FORCED me to have to deal with UEFI
to get Linux loaded).

That may be the case.  But there's only so much a great architect can do if the
ground he's building on is weak.

I've had to work with Windows for many decades now and while I've certainly
seen improvement here, Windows "security" remains baroque and something tacked
on afterwards.
