This particular article doesn't claim the new Macs can't boot Linux, only that you cannot boot Linux (or anything aside from macOS and Windows) with secure boot on, because you can't load your own trusted keys. Pretty much all other hardware in the price range allows you to load your own keys, and thus securely boot anything you want.
- amaccuish 8y ago> This particular article doesn't claim the new Macs can't boot Linux Yes it does. And it references the also incorrect phoronix article as evidence. It provides Chromebooks as an example with a hardware switch; the new T2 has an equivalent software switch. But the article ignores this and reads as if it's not possible to run Linux at all.
