Even Fedora Leadership Cannot Figure Out the Microsoft Kill Switch/Back Door, 'Secure' Boot
At IBM's Fedora, only one empowered person is not IBM staff. He is now openly admitting problems/difficulties with "secure boot signing". To quote: "I also made some more progress on my secure boot signing setup, but then i hit a blocker. I was able to sign grub and kernel for aarch64, but it doesn't actually boot. (I have my lenovo slim7x and also another aarch64 box that supports secure boot to test with). Hopefully we can get to the bottom of that soon so we can switch things on. I really hope we can have it running before Fedora 44 final freeze. This also has been a long road."
If even he cannot figure this out, what hope is for a lesser-technical person?
It does not actually enhance security, it adds additional holes and lets corporations (and governments) remotely control PCs everywhere in the world from the moment they're powered on. We've covered this many times over the years. IBM is trying to scare people who turn this down and abandoning those who opt out.
And meanwhile IBM, a vassal of Microsoft/GAFAM/Pentagon, continues to collapse. █
