UEFI secure boot is not getting in the way? Namely is secure boot can be still enabled even though the system is dual booting?
I know that some windows game anti-cheat will now deny some games to run if secure boot is not enabled.
And last but not least: I build my own distro, can I use my own crypto keys with UEFI secure boot hardware? That not blocking windoz secure booting (I guess crypto keys for windoz are generated and installed in the UEFI hardware upon... installation). I never actually have a look at that in the details.
- npteljes 1y agoSecure Boot doesn't get in the way, I think. I had it disabled for some reason, but I enabled it to test it for you, and my Debian Linux boots just fine. I have no idea about the crypto key situation unfortunately.
- sylware 1y agoDistros will ignore UEFI secure boot. You have to test with win11 (in dual boot with your fav distro) and some software requiring UEFI secure boot (maybe its status is displayed somewhere in win11 settings).
- npteljes 1y agoI see. Unfortunately I don't have Win11 to test with.
- npteljes 11mo agoJust tried with my win10, msinfo32 says that secure boot is enabled.
- sylware 11mo agowin10 is not revelant anymore. What about win11? And for instance the game anti-cheats (more anti-open-source than anything else though...) which require TPM/secure boot?
- npteljes 11mo agoNot my personal test, but looks like it's perfectly possible: https://burakberk.dev/complete-guide-enabling-secure-boot-with-linux-and-windows-dual-boot-setup/ https://burakberk.dev/complete-guide-enabling-secure-boot-wi...
- sylware 11mo agoNot win11. It has to be explicit with win11. That said, this shows the sabotage of dual boot by microsoft making it hell, this is proof, and thinking that all motherboard BIOSes will have properly tested secure boot configuration is a dream.
