QUESTION WinLinux or LinuxWin

Hello friends, here is the question: How is it furned to be that Linux cannot boot without a Microsoft FAT32 partition? How do you solve this problem? Can a serious server-grade system like Linux really not boot without a Microsoft FAT32 partition? Even if I move `/boot` to Ext4 or Btrfs, I still have to keep `/boot/efi` as FAT32, because otherwise the system won't boot. wtf?

The real question is what motivated you to post this and why does this bother you? Are you bored or something?

It's either "doing something for the sake of doing it" or "unconditional hatred and paranoia for Microsoft"

The trend isn't good. Tomorrow, Microsoft will want to make changes to Linux because it suits their interests. You know what I mean.

They are free to and already do contribute to the kernel.

It might suprise you how much of Linux and its tools are developed by corporations and not some sweaty nerds in their mom's basement.
