You can disable secure boot and add your own keys in the firmware config page. Who knows how long that will last though.

- cesarb 5y ago> You can disable secure boot and add your own keys in the firmware config page. You can disable secure boot or add your own keys because Microsoft required all manufacturers to allow it. If it wasn't mandated by Microsoft, some manufacturers would not allow it. And for ARM devices, Microsoft required the opposite (https://softwarefreedom.org/blog/2012/jan/12/microsoft-confirms-UEFI-fears-locks-down-ARM/ https://softwarefreedom.org/blog/2012/jan/12/microsoft-confi...). So yes, the only reason we can run non-Microsoft operating systems on our computers is because Microsoft "gave permission".
