anyone booting debian with secure boot enabled? And/or from GPT partitions?
Last I heard, debian was not participating in any of the initiatives
to get officially microsoft-signed signatures for kernels. I've been
out of the community for a few months, so I haven't kept up with this,
but quick searches don't reveal a change in policy.
(And I am definitely not arguing for a change in policy, for anyone
who might misread me.)
I have a netbook that allows secure boot to be disabled. As long as I
don't need to boot MSWindows, I just disable secure boot. (I don't
perceive any real advantage in Microsoft's implementation, anyway.)
But I have some work coming up that requires dual-booting MSWindows,
and I also might want to use debian (rather than Ubuntu or Fedora) as
a host for developing for Android.
(I am able to boot openbsd from an outboard USB3 drive and keep it
running long enough to build a snapshot release. That's roughly a day,
plus or minus a few hours. So I have one good option. But I'd really
prefer not to spend too much time running the OS itself from an
outboard device whose connection can slip or get noisy from oxidation
so easily.)
So, I'd like to ask those who for whatever reason dual-boot debian
with MSWindows on a modern MSW8/10 compliant box, what do you do about
keys?
And I'm also interested in war stories relative to (dual) booting from
GPT partitions.
