Hi Felix,
I bought a laptop of the company Tuxedo
where I can disable IME.
Don't they disable that by default?
The options were really tricky. Difficult.
Yes they are, but you can do it!
I will check again, if they enabled it again. Hopefully not.
I didn´t install any proprietary in the beginning.
But I don´t know, and that´s why my question,
if on my laptop is something installed beforehand.
I don´t have enough knowledge about boot process etc.
I assume Shepherd is the Guix init system like systemd in other linux
distros. Is that right?
Yes.
What is Grub? Is EFI a part of Grub?
Grub is a bootloader.
In a very simplified way, which I hope is right:
1. EFI runs Grub.
2. Grub chooses the kernel to run and runs it.
3. The kernel runs the init system, which prepares everything for you.
I guess Guix community replaced "EFI" with "grubx64.efi"
that´s why we can find this file in the boot/EFI folder.
No, Grub is an EFI application (some software that can be launched from
EFI). EFI is going to search in the /boot/efi folder for the
applications that it can run. That's why Grub has to be there.

What do you mean by "Booring" I don´t understand this word?
Thanks
I think he means Booting, with T.
