- beatgammit 14y agoFrom your link: > On non-ARM systems, it is required to implement the ability to disable Secure Boot via firmware setup. To be more precise, this is only true for non-ARM systems.

At least Apple offers a way to boot into an alternative OS, even though it is still a bit locked down.
