I am the last guy to play apologist to Microsoft and Google.
While the potential for abuse is there, these are the same sorts of concerns raised over UEFI secure boot, and the sky failed to fall over that. You can still run Linux if you want, it's fine.
Things will likely be OK. Maybe more annoying than before.
- stevehawk 3y ago"can run linux if you want" - but it's difficult enough that most of us just give up and run one or the other and it's definitely not user friendly enough to ever teach a relative. I've been a casual Linux user for 25 years now. I've officially given up dualbooting. One software update by Microsoft or accidental EFI change the house of cards seems to fall apart.
- packetlost 3y agoidk, I've been dual booting for awhile with secure boot and haven't had any issues. It was definitely less stable like 10 years ago sure, but nowadays I think a lot of the wrinkles have been ironed out.
- uwagar 3y agolive usb with persistence on the usb stick itself or on hdd partition running windows works like a charm. save your data on the hdd. im on mx linux and life is such a breath of fresh air.
- CursedUrn 3y agoDidn't secure boot fail because someone at Microsoft leaked the encryption keys?
