As for the Linux distro - not all THAT much diff

I can do one better:
I somehow messed up so bad once that it created 30 layers of EFI folders
within itself
The path was: /boot/EFI/EFI/EFI/EFI/EFI/EFI/EFI....
Holding down tab to get through all of them, there wasn't anything in
the bottom folder..

Once saw something much like that, but after a few layers
it was CIRCULAR ... /boot/EFI/EFI/EFI/EFI/boot/EFI/(and so
forth). The GUI file manager could not cope - something
about the way it parsed paths - had to dig in using
terminal utils, one 'cd' at a time.
Yeah, same with nautilus. Had to use the terminal bc it kept slowing
down on the GUI.
