And this is why I avoid and will always avoid "Secure Boot". I can see many newer Linux people being locked out starting in Sept.
There should be some “Sane Usage” certification that a device doesn’t do secure boot, provides fully open and self-maintainable hardware, is independent of all external entities for ongoing use, provides hardware switches to turn off built-ins like ports, mics, and cameras, for power-savings and security.
To be able to get Windows licenses and preload Windows on your system, put that little Windows sticker and sell your machine to the masses, you need a Windows Compatibility certificate, and that certificate needs you to have Secure Boot and enabled by default.
Sounds anti-competitive as fuck to me. Maybe we should, I don't know; do something about companies using contractual requirements to lock key industrial into one way of doing things in order to shut down such efforts?
