Comment on How long do we have before PCs get locked bootloaders and corporations ban installation of "non-approved" software? (for context: Google is restricting sideloading worldwide on Android ETA 2027)

Isn’t secure boot signed by Microsoft anyway IIRC? I know Lenovo had their own signing too. From my knowledge, installing a secure-boot supported linux version requires a ‘shim’ to allow it, and there was an issue that came up as the keys are due to expire for older OS versions.

Of course, Secure Boot can be switched off as well. (for now)
