- Description
- The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI)contains information on how the boot process should be carried out. It accurately outlines the interface between the OS and the platform firmware. It replaces the previous Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) firmware in the IBM PC. With UEFI, you don't have to install an OS for remote repairs and troubleshooting of computers.
- The TXZ file format is a combination of TAR archiving and XZ compression. It is used to pack multiple files into a single archive (TAR) and then compress it using XZ compression to reduce the file size. The TAR aspect allows for the collection of various files and directories into a single file, preserving their structure and attributes. The XZ compression, known for its high compression ratio, further compresses this archive, making the resulting TXZ file more efficient for storage or transmission.
