Secure Boot for forum distros

Post by Clarity »

This forum houses several manners to build a distro. But, ONLY 1 has SOLVED the element of an ability to boot OOTB on a Secure Boot PC for those who come to it with a Windows PC. Almost every PC manufactured by a reputable computer corp has build PC with Secure Boot enabled and operational with its OS. ... EVERY!

@jamesbond/@kirk setup and implemented @fatdog years ago with this technology enabled in their distros.

I know the many members who anger at the mere mention of MS/Windows/SecureBoot, but Secure was NOT a MS invention; it was implemented because of a concern for security by the world's hardware manufacturers. This part is overlooked by many members, not to mention that most people NEVER want to change from an older technology to a better. So our behavior is normal, yet at some point we must turn to "try" to see benefit.

The forum's distros center around how a linux is built or generated. We have generators for

  • Built in Fatdog

  • Built in WoofCE

  • Built in DOGs (by @fredx181)

  • Built in KLs

  • Built in EASY

  • Built in etc

on the forum with only @fatdog distros implemented with SecureBoot, apparent and OOTB when booted on a SecureBoot enabled PC. As such, a Windows/RedHat enabled PC user merely reboots with a Fatdog and vice-versa with no user concern or hoop to jump-thru.

I ask: Is it time for other forum distro generation tools to consider following @fatdog lead?

I found this video and thought people, here, would want to see for consideration.
