> Why do people keep repeating this FUD? Linux plus UEFI Secure Boot works fine as long as you use the signed version of GRUB. It’s not hard.

Microsoft signed an open source bootloader called Shim, which can run out of the box on any PC. You can use Shim to load your own GRUB2 and set your own keys. Shim is used by Fedora, Ubuntu, and Debian so far. A good writeup is available here https://wiki.debian.org/SecureBoot

Shim is on top of grub? not good ... They are trying to turn PCs into phones where you can't do what you want.
