Have you ever used anything that uses DKMS? Should you have had to make your own operating system kernel instead?

- charcircuit 3y agoDKMS already supports signed kernel modules.
- josephcsible 3y agoIt supports them by creating its own private key and signing them on your system. That's inherently incompatible with only trusting modules from your distro vendor.
- charcircuit 3y agoYou are right only the distro's build servers would be able to use DKMS as the distro couldn't ship the private key.
- josephcsible 3y agoThat's fundamentally not how DKMS works.
