Comment on Anon tries running live USB Linux on his dad's computer
PlzGivHugs@sh.itjust.works 5 days agoThe main problem is it turning itself on with no input from or feedback to the user, and not giving the user access to the key without using a Microsoft account. I’ve heard of people getting screwed by this because they set up with a local account and thus never got their secureboot key (or did, but it was hidden somewhere and they were never told to save it).

Oh yeah sorry I should have elaborated when I said it’s partly Microsoft’s fault. This mostly happened because neither of them expected the FDE to be enabled which is on Microsoft for silently enabling it
