- UEFI vs BIOS. How much does it actually matter now of days?

Is it just me, or does UEFI feel over-bloated/complicated to the point that it's impossible to understand?
Namely, this is my OS project: https://github.com/avirule/gsai_os/tree/dev-unstable (the unstable branch, which is ongoing development. I don't really remember if the master branch is error-less)

Unclear where or how to begin creating a UEFI bootloader
You can take a look at my project's bootloader to get an idea of what to do: https://github.com/avirule/gsai_os/tree/master/efi_boot (I know it's just one humongous file and I'm sorry it's just easier that way, since the bootloader is self-contained anyway)

Can Rust do Computer Graphics and ML?
That's just an unbased claims. People have written bootloader in rust and the linux kernel is also considering adopting Rust. None of this would happen if Rust cannot interface the hardware or is turing complete.

[uefi-rs] - How can you load an arbitrary Rust UEFI protocol without so many crazy ass steps?

Changing bootloader crate options for graphical vga mode
A quick wander through the docs, and then the repo turned up an open feature request for VESA video modes which mentions a merged PR for 320x200 VGA support.

Cargo workspaces, sub crates and build options
But here I come across an interesting structure https://github.com/rust-osdev/bootloader/tree/main/examples/test_framework

UEFI vs BIOS. How much does it actually matter now of days?
Long story short, it appears there is no way to get started with UEFI (cue more downvotes). I've even spent a week carefully copying code beginning here: https://github.com/rust-osdev/bootloader/blob/main/src/bin/uefi.rs only to discover that nothing displays to the screen. There is an error somewhere in the 500 lines required to print a character to the screen, and it's impossible to tell where it is.

Need help locating learning material. Interested in trying to develop a bootloader using Rust.
You can also take a look at the upcoming version of the bootloader crate, which has UEFI support: https://github.com/rust-osdev/bootloader/pull/130 . It is not documented very well yet, but maybe it helps already. The UEFI entry point function is here .The #[entry] macro of the uefi crate just makes the function a pub extern "efiapi" fn. The function is named efi_main because that's the default entry point name for Rust's built-in UEFI targets (e.g. x86_64-unknown-uefi). Theimageandst` function arguments are passed directly by the UEFI firmware.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing linuiz and bootloader you can also consider the following projects:
hadron - The Hadron microkernel
oreboot - oreboot is a fork of coreboot, with C removed, written in Rust.
blog_os - Writing an OS in Rust
elf2efi - Convert ELF-format images to PE+ suitable for use as EFI applications
uefi-rs - Rust wrapper for UEFI.
SunriseOS - Horizon/NX kernel reimplementation
burn - Burn is a new comprehensive dynamic Deep Learning Framework built using Rust with extreme flexibility, compute efficiency and portability as its primary goals. [Moved to: https://github.com/Tracel-AI/burn]
