Turn off "secure" bootTurn off "secure" bootPosted Jun 28, 2012 19:41 UTC (Thu) by dlang (✭ supporter ✭, #313)In reply to: Turn off "secure" boot by rwmj Parent article: Ubuntu details its UEFI secure boot plans
the problem is that Microsoft is requiring this feature on any hardware that is going to be certified as supporting Windows 8
There is going to be very little PC hardware produced that deliberatly opts not to be able to support Windows 8, even the vendors that sell linux pre-installed will be buying motherboards from vendors that want to sell the same motherboards to Windows users.
simply opting not to buy hardware with this feature is not likely to be a realistic option, the best we can hope for is that vendors have the option, but default to having it turned off.

Turn off "secure" boot Posted Jun 29, 2012 15:53 UTC (Fri) by giraffedata (subscriber, #1954) [Link] I think the best answer is that we encourage end users to not buy hardware that has this anti-user feature. But answer to what? I believe the challenge that Ubuntu and Fedora are answering is the challenge of running Ubuntu or Fedora on hardware that has this feature.
