Linux uh... Finds a way.

Ladies, gentlemen, none of the above. We have come full circle. The mainframe + Terminal combination is back

How is that latency haha

@Chewy7324 It seems be fun but the latency should be terrible 😅

Latency isn't the only issue.
it's slow, symbolic and hard linking don't work correctly, and permissions and attributes aren't recorded.

You can make it work mostly that way. Create a UKI (unified kernel image including EFI stub loader, kernel, initial filesystem and kernel parameters), then tell uefi to directly boot it. The four steps still run, but using only a single file.

Arch and Gentoo wiki only mention systemd-stub, are unified kernel images not possible with other init systems? With efistub seems possible but i couldn't get that to work on my MB.
Edit: i found something to Alpine Linux.
