Comment on Secure Boot is completely broken on 200+ models from 5 big device makers
thearch@sh.itjust.works 3 months agoIt’s supposed to prevent unsigned files from being loaded by the UEFI (AFAIK) which could possibly help with rootkits, if it doesn’t somehow sign itself. However, these are pretty rare if you don’t allow sketchy software to access your boot partition, and will often cause issues with non major Linux distros.

I’ve been wary of secure boot and pluton chips for this reason.

Then you haven’t set it up right

With Debian I think I was able to load the appropriate keys after installing the OS and then re-enable secureboot in the bios. Might be worth checking into.

Well of course, thats the setup. Disabling secure boot. If it didn’t stop you from booting a third party OS without you toggling that BIOS option, then the security feature would be pointless.
