IIRC, to get mt74x64.efi, and later mt83x64.efi, I had to loop mount the free to
download bootable .iso and copy it off to a Grub-visible location. mt83x64.efi
does work on my 11th Gen i5-11400 loaded from Grub-efi as above:
Clk: 4235MHz
L1 cache: 80K 468.40 GB/s
L2 cache: 512K 95.10 GB/s
L3 cache: 12288K 48.46 GB/s
DDR4 2400: 15.7G 23.81 GB/s

Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion,
based on faith, not based on science.
