Apparently Google is working on a new OS called Fuchsia, which is not based on Linux, Android, or ChromeOS. One of the components of Fuchsia is Magenta.

I just noticed that Magenta has a UEFI-aware bootloader.

“This project contains some experiments in software that runs on UEFI firmware for the purpose of exploring UEFI development and bootloader development.”
