The possible future of current MOK, has been questioned.
All I can say is that I'm working with the cards I've been dealt, now.
I consider that my MOK proposal is a "legitimate" use of the current MOK.

As to the "warm fuzzy feeling" you are supposed to get from "Secure Boot" only booting "well checked" code,
well no amount of Puppy signing can provided the same "well checked" feeling as the majors.
(But then some of us don't get a "warm fuzzy feeling" about at least one of these "well checked" majors, anyway.)

But what if "Secure Boot" being enabled makes it harder for hackers to attack your installed Windows?
Then, maybe it's worth considering running with "Secure Boot" enabled.
Even if it doesn't help Puppy Linux much.

If you are going to run Puppy Linux anyway, you are living "dangerously", the question is:
With or without "Secure Boot" enabled?
With my proposal, you have a choice.
