When there are UEFI entries missing for your Linux operating system, you can add them easily with efibootmgr:

As root: efibootmgr -c -d <disk> -p <efi-partition> -L <entry-name> -l <loader-path>

For example: efibootmgr -c -d /dev/nvme0n1 -p 1 -L "debian" -l "\EFI\debian\grubx64.efi"

It will use /dev/nvme0n1p1 and on it the file /boot/EFI/debian/grubx64.efi and add it to the UEFI boot menu. On next restart, the entry should be there.

NOTE: You have to replace "/" with "\" for the loader path.

I installed Nvidia drivers in Gentoo and was able to boot
from UEFI.

Efi boot require in Linux Kernel:
- Device Drivers --->
- Graphics support --->
- Frame buffer Devices --->
- [*] EFI-based Framebuffer Support
- Console display driver support --->
- <*> Framebuffer Console Support

I created Gentoo Linux Ebuild package to install Realtek
driver that don't require firmware blobs directly into
kernel source tree. :)

Rust programming language is not possible to compile from
sources (mrustc is not ready).

Mozila Firefox require Rust, that is why it is not open
source. I am going to switch to Pale Moon or
qutebrowser. :(

Wayland is not ready I was unable to run Xfce4, it
doesn't have no mouse emulation. I am at X11/Xorg still.
