It's a very small and limited UI stack. At least the GNOME developers
I've discussed it with, this environment has all kinds of a11y, i18n,
and keymapping problems. To solve it means either baking a significant
portion of the GNOME stack into the initramfs, or some kind of magic
because the resources don't exist to create a minimized GNOME stack
that could achieve this. And so far the effort has been to try and
make the initramfs smaller, and more generic.

I have no idea how either Apple or Microsoft solve this problem.
