Is your statement meant to be inclusive of, say, all laptops? I was under the impression that one can setup a machine to boot using personal keys rather than Microsoft keys: https://www.dannyvanheumen.nl/post/secure-boot-in-fedora/ https://www.dannyvanheumen.nl/post/secure-boot-in-fedora/
- conradev 4y agoI don't consider UEFI Secure Boot to be on the same level as these other secure boot technologies because it doesn't help in the face of physical access to the machine. The process of being able to use your own keys is certainly cool, but it is less impressive if anyone with physical access to the machine can also do that
