    It fucks with Linux. I literally just disabled it to resolve a driver install issue before this announcement was made.

      Linux can run with secure boot just fine though. Use your distros documentation to set it up.

      Secureboot doesn’t “fuck with Linux”. It does protect you from malware trying to install unsigned kernel modules.

      Apparently that driver is unsigned, which is not the normal case nowadays.

        Good to know, thanks

        I was trying to install an Nvidia driver on Linux Mint, so I think I am safe.

            This happens to roughly 1/3rd of all pc’s. But if you put secureboot ON and the FBI cant touch your pc

          This type of attack has been seen in the wild for quite some time. Ultimately it’s a security vs convenience decision.
