Future of 32-bit platform support in FreeBSD
For the modern server/desktop and even laptop, that's also no bad thing. It is somewhat ridiculous that UEFI bioses, internally, still boot in 16-bit real mode and have to do all the steps your bios bootloader used to do to set up a 64-bit environment ready to go: https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/edc6681206c1a8791981a..., https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/edc6681206c1a8791981a..., https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/edc6681206c1a8791981a...
Why not just start the CPU in "long mode", which is what everyone is using it for, in the first place?
These newer ARM processors support 32-bit code at EL0 only (userspace). That seems like a reasonable approach for x86 as well and the freebsd announcement has this to say:
> There is currently no plan to remove support for 32-bit binaries on 64-bit kernels.
So for the moment, you can run 32-bit applications just fine.

AMD to move to open source firmware in 2026
From there you'll need to get an EFI Shell. There may be one built into your system, but you can also get one here from Tianocore (aka, the people mostly making UEFI). Neither this EFI Shell nor Keytool.efi (the thing you need to load the keys) are signed of course, so you will need to turn off SecureBoot to continue. From there just run Keytool with your new keys, turn back on SecureBoot, and move on with your life.

Windows installation doesn't boot up when I try to use UEFI firmware
I had the same issue. What fixed it for me was compiling my own OVMF.fd file from here and using that to boot. The version of OVMF that shipped with fedora was broken for me for some reason.

How to Install Windows 11 On A Device That Does Not Meet Windows 11 Requirements
You can also use Rufus. It has options to customize Windows 11 and one of them is to disable the hardware module requirement.

Windows 10 end of life could prompt torrent of e-waste
You can use Rufus: https://rufus.ie/en/
To modify the ISO to turn off hardware check and TPM support for Windows 11 to install it on an unsupported PC.

Besides Linux and BSD Unix there is: https://reactos.org/ https://aros.sourceforge.io/ https://www.haiku-os.org/ and https://www.arcanoae.com/arcaos/
I know some third-world nations still use DOS and the BORLAND DOS compilers because people donate old computers to their nations.
With the right OS, old computers are still usable. Please don't throw them away, e-cycle them so they get used by poor nations that cannot afford new PCs.

Ventoy
3. NVMe drives may not gracefully handle sudden disconnections, because USB connections are inherently unreliable interfaces prone to physical disruption and loss of power.
If your drive decides to stop showing up, first try loading up the boot device selection screen in the UEFI, and then insert the drive. It may take several seconds to show up. If trying that a few times doesn’t work, the drive may be stuck in a bad state, and might be recovered with the power cycle technique https://dfarq.homeip.net/fix-dead-ssd/
Always set up automatic backups if you actually have non-replaceable data on the drive. They can and will just suddenly die forever with loss of all data, just like thumb drives. You have been warned.
All that said, there are generally less issues if you are simply putting ventoy on it to install from a loaded iso.
I have a dual raid1 sata enclosure that I use to boot a windows to go install created with Rufus (https://github.com/pbatard/rufus), which makes testing and benchmarking so much nicer to deal with. I’ve even stuck games on it, and other than relative filesystem slowness it works pretty great.

Tried to create a RAID 1 array without researching properly
The author has extensive documentation and tutorial content. First steps: download CD image, download Rufus (http://rufus.ie), write the image to the flash drive, remember that this will clear the data on the flash drive and it will not be recoverable.
