i heard that linux users dont rlly like secure boot

[–] h4lf8yte@lemmy.ml 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)

They don't like it because it's mostly implemented in microsofts favor. It's shipped with microsoft keys by default and needs to be disabled to boot a lot of linux distros. If there was a more unbiased way to load a new os like a default key setup routine at first boot or a preinstalled key for major linux distros they wouldn't be so hostile towards secure boot. The technology isn't bad and it's the only way to not have somebody temper with your system at rest without TPM.
