OS selection is designed around APFS containers and subvolumes containing files in a specific layout. -AS Macs are designed to be brick-proof. They can be recovered from another machine by using a USB cable and booting from ROM, even if all NOR and NVMe contents are destroyed (\* NOR destruction untested).

We have alternative [open source tooling](https://github.com/libimobiledevice/idevicerestore) for this that works on Linux/etc. One notable point of this design is that each installed OS also brings along with it a large subset of system firmware running on coprocessors, as well as the OS loader. This makes it easier to maintain backwards compatibility with older OSes; conversely, it also means the firmware ABI for these coprocessors has no stability guarantees whatsoever.
