So, first off, the entire point of a session cookie is to uniquely identify you. This is then booted directly by the UEFI, and you can even register multiple binaries and have them show up in the UEFI boot selection menu. For the curious, this is EFISTUB combined with sbsign, that bundles the kernel image, initrd and CPU microcode in a single EFI binary and signs it.
And those systems don't come with any sort of Linux support from HP. I did all this on multiple generation HP "enterprise" laptops and desktops and it worked without any issue.
#SECURE BOOT VMWARE 6.0 UPDATE INSTALL#
I had to disable SecureBoot to install it, because I couldn't be bothered to create a new ISO, but then I registered my own keys to the UEFI and boot directly my own signed kernel, without using GRUB at all. They have a "do your own signing" policy. I, personally, use Arch Linux and the installer isn't signed with anything.
I think the whole "MS-signed Grub" is a way by Ubuntu (and possibly others) to facilitate Linux installation by "non pros". I'm not sure how much having Microsoft as Platinum Member would help with this, though.Īs others have said, this is either FUD or limited to specific systems with broken UEFI implementations.
#SECURE BOOT VMWARE 6.0 UPDATE SOFTWARE#
One thing the Linux Foundation could do about that is mandating a minimum set of requirements that all Linux commercial software could count on, and all distributions should meet if they want a badge that guarantees the software will be 100% compatible out of the box, or that the host system can be adapted with extremely low effort. Debian is still my favorite for tinkering, but to get things done and general stability there are better options.Īnd here is our main Linux problem: its fragmentation, which is the natural byproduct of its freedom everyone and his cat can develop or modify things, which translates in different distributions, which of course is a nightmare if you are a software producer with developers paid to port your software to Linux, and that's why a lot of commercial developers either choose one or max two distributions to support or ignore it at all. Even better when I switched them from Debian to Manjaro. Same here, most family (except my brother, but he lives abroad) on Linux and no problems.
