You still have to get your own version of shim signed if you want your distro to boot "Scary Boot Prompt"-free. I.e. if you just use RedHat's version of shim, that shim will transparently boot RedHat signed kernels, but refuse to boot SuSE's -- unless you whitelist SuSE's key manually into shim. It's not ideal in any way.
- Arnavion 4y agoI believe for OpenSUSE it uses MokManager to get the user to trust the OpenSUSE CA. But it's been a while since I tried it so I might be misremembering. (MokManager is broken on my mobo so I switched to systemd-boot + my own signing keys, which is better for security anyway.)
