Summary: Techrights did not forget how UEFI 'secure' boot came into kernel space (see the below); This proposal came from Red Hat and then foisted/pushed onto Linus Torvalds by at least 3 Red Hat employees (the mainstream media blasted Torvalds for his response to this 'offensive' technical move by Red Hat, helping Intel and Microsoft control silicon at CA level)
Backups are imperative, more so in an age of uncertainty, unpredictable weather, and worsening standards (quality of products going down while prices go up)
