Can I install Linux?
- drivebyacct2 14y agoOn the x86 one, sure. On the ARM one, no. OEMs are not allowed to enable user key enrollment on ARM devices.
- smlacy 14y agoUm, not necessarily with UFEI and firmware locking. I'd say until someone gets their hands on one, that it's a big unknown.
- drivebyacct2 14y agoThe UEFI spec calls for allowing user enrollment of keys, or at the very least disabling the checks. It can be done, this has been discussed to death here already. http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/12368.html http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/12368.html edit: recoiledsnake makes an interesting point above.

- recoiledsnake 14y ago>On the x86 one, sure I wouldn't be so sure about that. The certification process for Windows 8 sticker needs that. But.. that certification is done by.....guess who? Microsoft. So they could easily lock down their own hardware.
- drivebyacct2 14y agoDoh! This completely slipped my mind. I guess I would hope and assume they wouldn't do something like that, but you're right, it's certainly a possibility. Thanks for pointing it out.
