I thought Microsoft requires UEFI + secure boot for Windows, and with no disabling option in the firmware setup, for Windows Arm PC? Or maybe it was "only" Microsoft Secure Boot and you can actually use a Linux distro? If this is the latter case, can you build and run the kernel you want or not?



You can use secure boot on select distros. Coincidentally, they're the better ones as well (Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, etc...)


You should also be able to enroll your own keys to boot any distro under secure boot


Yeah but then you need to resign every update, if the distro doesn't do it for you.


Secure boot can now be disabled on ARM.
