Bug#909718: debian-live: it is a UEFI 32 only system.



Package: debian-live
Followup-For: Bug #909718

Dear MaintaineSteve McIntyre,

my system have UEFI 32 only, a "legacy" BIOS mode does not exist.

i can not disable SecureBoot.
the Windows System Partition is encrypted by BitLocker on the har drive,
and i saw a video where somebody disabled SecureBoot to boot Linux Live
and after re-enabling SecureBoot later to boot into Windows again,
the system run into BitLocker Recovery mode,
and he had to use BitLocker Recovery to decrypt and re-encrypt everything again.

so disabling SecureBoot will destroy the stored BitLocker-key somehow.

thats because disabling SecureBoot is not an option.


why are UEFI32 only tablet/netbook users disadvantaged or excluded
from using Linux / Debian?
i mean to me it looks like it is only a matter of providing proper signed 
grub-efi-ai32-signed package or shim-signed or what ever packages are involved.

or is Debian Linux Live friendly only for big customers with big hardware?
sorry, but i am a bit disappointed.
