I badly phrased it tbh, so its a fair misunderstanding :)
One thing i kinda dislike about all ARM devices ive played with so far is the lack of a proper replacement for the concept of a BIOS. I want a subsystem for multiboot and toggling hardware features as well as tuning and stuff like that.
Sure its cool that you can just flash an SD card and it works, but you can keep that as default functionality while still allowing more customizability.

And given the history of BIOS as a concept, I guess that isn’t too surprising.
I wonder how much of that kind of thing stems from the fact that many of the really hardcore PC tinkerers aren’t using ARM (yet).
