Hey #linux community & power users:
Some of the greatest distros out there do not work with Secure Boot.
In your opinion, how bad is it to not have #secureboot activated? I presume this is only a potential if an adversary has your machine with them?
If I manually sign my current system to enable secure boot, what happens when the system gets a major upgrade (Eg., kernel etc)? Do I get locked out or do I just need to disable secure boot will get me in to re-sign the system?
