Is it fair to say that this is "due to windows" though? I don't see anything in this article saying that this directive came at the urging of Microsoft or anyone on the Windows team there. It's entirely possible that thi

I'm failing to see why disabling Secure Boot on a lower-end laptop before installing Linux isn't a viable option here? Of course, being able to have it ship disabled by default is ideal, but for the HN crowd and for Linux shops, disabling S
