Know if your ''Platform Firmware'''s UEFI implementation has writable EFI vars. This is not true for all UEFI implementations on ARM, but is something to be mindful about. If it does not, {{Nixos:option|boot.loader.efi.canTouchEfiVariables}} has to be set to '''<code>false</code>'''. | Know if your ''Platform Firmware'''s UEFI implementation has writable EFI vars.

This sample uses GRUB2, but systemd-boot was also verified to work. Since EFI variables cannot be manipulated, using <code>efiInstallAsRemovable</code> handles installing GRUB2 to the default fallback location. | This sample uses GRUB2, but systemd-boot was also verified to work.
