yeah, now that he changed to microsoft it all makes even more sense.
microsoft and intel are to control what operating systems you're allowed to run.

WTF? the article is about mostly systemd (aka cancer spreading) and UKI (unified kernel image).and XBOOTLDR partition.
- no match for searching "udev" word into the text; --> systemD useless for tinycore.
- UKI to incorporate "some configuration", --> making boot-loader / tc-config parameters useless? ; why? We can with a 164 KB grub-loader to boot from ESP into a ext2 partition containing kernel+core.gz.
- extra XBOOTLDR partition? hm.. we can have the same unique vFAT partition, seen as ESP (from GPT type disk) or boot-able FAT (from MBR type disk).

So, all the article is about perceived security (really?), because possible bugs in boot-loader and file-system drivers (linux) ; but hey, we then trust obscure bad-code programing in Firmware (BIOS / UEFI).
