Ultimately it's the users device and the user will do what they want with it. Locking bootloaders is just security theatre.
if someone wants to run Linux/otherOS on their computer, they should be allowed to do so.
- acdha 6y agoIt’s not just security theater: ask how many people will use Linux intentionally versus how many will be compromised by malware which uses the same technique for persistence? You might be able to do something like encrypting the macOS partitions with a key which won’t be given to a non-trusted boot path but that’s a lot of work and new security risk for something which almost nobody will use since most people are buying Macs for the software and very few people have needs which can’t be satisfied by running Linux under the built-in hypervisor.
