Will we be able to run our own Linux kernels on these laptops? "In January 2012, Microsoft confirmed it would require hardware manufacturers to enable secure boot on Windows 8 devices, and that x86/64 devices must provide the option to turn it off while ARM-based devices must not provide the option to turn it off.[15]" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_boot https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_boot)

- abrowne 8y agoIt's no longer required that you are able to turn it off on x86-64, that you can't turn it off on ARM or both?
- floatboth 8y agoFrom what I've seen on the internet, you can turn secure boot off, select USB boot, but a blank screen after that with linux/aarch64 images. We really need to get these laptops (NovaGo etc.) into the hands of experienced developers to figure out what the deal is.
