Is this actually true? openSUSE is supplied with a shim bootloader apparently signed with Microsoft's keys, allowing the OS to boot on any machine with Secure Boot enabled.
- mjg59 5y agoWindows is signed with different keys to all other third party UEFI code, so in theory you could ship a system that trusted Windows but not anything else. "Anything else" would include the option ROMs on GPUs, so you'd never be able to plug in a new Nvidia, but if that's a price you're willing to pay you could definitely block Linux today.
