I wrote a tiny decrypting UEFI bootloader
Hi, did you know that you can write UEFI-code with Rust? You can, using uefi-rs!

Thanks for pointing that out. I've filed https://github.com/rust-osdev/uefi-rs/issues/685

This Month in Rust OSDev: April 2022
I'm extremely confused as to what's going on here. I think it might be related to Line 129: https://github.com/rust-osdev/uefi-rs/blob/main/src/table/system.rs

Writing a Simple Operating System – From Scratch [pdf]
First off I don't recommend implementing the specification from scratch. It is big, and there are implementations already in various languages: for C you can use GNU-UEFI, for example, and for Rust you can use uefi-rs. Zig even has it in its standard library! These take care of the fiddly details of interacting with the UEFI firmware's services.
There's tutorial type articles for these around: for C there's https://wiki.osdev.org/UEFI_App_Bare_Bones, for Rust there's this template https://github.com/rust-osdev/uefi-rs/tree/main/template and the crate's documentation.

UEFI vs BIOS. How much does it actually matter now of days?
A few people have made some progress into working with UEFI in Rust, and the results are here: https://github.com/rust-osdev/uefi-rs

Would someone mind helping explain where this code actually is?
use uefi::prelude::Handle; points to uefi-rs/src/prelude.rs found here: https://github.com/rust-osdev/uefi-rs/blob/master/src/prelude.rs

Would you buy an AMD/Intel board with coreboot?
Libreboot would actually be a backwards approach if anything, oreboot looks to be the direction that people are heading in as you can see in the notes it's intended to be used with no binary blobs.

Need help locating learning material. Interested in trying to develop a bootloader using Rust.
I'm not specialist but I know about fork Coreboot but rewrite in Rust lang oreboot fork in Rust Coreboot
