> What even is the point of secure boot when your entire goal is to run arbitrary kernel mode code? Err, it's code I wrote, or code I am likely to be familiar with? My issue isn't with the feature of driver signing but its application. I can choose to be in test signing mode on Linux or not, and if I am, it doesn't gimp the system in arbitrary ways. Look again, Windows is like a black box over a rewritten Unix kernel. It's kind of funny. It took a while for it to click.

I don't know what "gimp the system in arbitrary ways" means. I've been running Windows in test-signing mode for years with no problem. Microsoft doesn't officially bless it, but that doesn't exactly matter in any material way.
