> Go-boot: bare metal Go UEFI boot manager

The bare metal list is quiet thin.

Why is so HW focused ? I use refind and it seems to be HW independent.

That's the list of hardware they've explicitly tested on. Always bear in mind that, for any given standard, no matter how straightforward, there are going to be dozens of vendors who screw it up for no real reason other than incompetence or malice.

The older a piece of software is, the more workarounds it will have accrued for various hardware bugs or vendor misdeeds, so it's reasonable for the project to disclaim that it's only been tested on a small number of physical hardware devices even if, in theory, it should work out of the box on all of them.
