Linux (the distros that people actually use) works fine with secure boot. Also, if MS mandates secure boot that means AMD will also use it.


These distros also either do not enforce signing kernel modules, thus making the Secure Boot moot (Ubuntu), or enforcing valid signature on the modules, but making it easy to enroll your own Machine Owner Key (Fedora), so your custom-built kernel modules for VirtualBox, Nvidia, ZFS or whatever else you need, will still work.


It still seems to fail whenever I install those distros until I turn it off.
