Thanks for the quick response. Yes, the kernel EFI options are built into the kernels build from the kernel.org source code, but don't have signatures, since that seems to be a very expensive and long process, as I've seen on the memtest page about there looking into it.
As an individual, you aren't going to go through the official process. If it's your own machine, you can create your own key and register it with the BIOS. But that doesn't scale for many users.
The alternative is to disable secure boot which is supposed to be possible.
I've currently got 5 running machines at home, all with Fedora 33, but none are setup with EFI boot. All where setup before, and have just had Fedora updated to next versions as releases came out, so setup wasn't changed. There is the efi directories, but they don't seem to have any kernel files installed.
I don't know what efi directories you are referring to, but if it's not an EFI boot, then they won't be used.
I'm not even clear what OS the user has on machines. Many use the G4L to make images of windows machines. If I was still teaching, would have access to machines to test with, but retired, so just have my working machines.
You can use virt-manager to create VMs using UEFI if you want to test things.
Process was so easy with the 40_custom setup, or booting to CD or USB, but now with systems not offering legacy options seems to be a major issue.
It's probably just as easy with EFI, but I'm still not clear on what exactly you're asking.
