Does first partition has to be FAT32 in EFI system? (lemmy.ca)

Greetings,

I wanted to know if the first partition has to be FAT32 and should be mounted at /efi . Gentoo and Arch tell us to always have first partition of type FAT32 however they mount it in different location. I am confused can anyone elaborate please?

yes to FAT32 but doesn't have to be first and there can be multiples; I have several EFI partitions (type ef00) and the picker shows me entries from them all. I use systemd-boot and the relevant EFI partition is mounted at /boot (didn't like /efi because I'm used to autocomplete /etc with tab).
