Any "solution" that removes users' freedom (and that's the case of ANY "solution" which leaves "Secure" Boot enabled) cannot be seriously considered as viable.Secureboot support does *NOT* limit your freedom as long as it is optional (the default setting does not matter).The point I'm trying to make is the default setting might actually be the most important thing that matters when it comes to new users that want to install Fedora. - "You need to disable SecureBoot in the BIOS settings in order to install Fedora" - "BIOS settings? What's that? Oh a blueish DOS-like command-line thing? Freaky. Disable SecureBoot? Why on earth would I want to make my system less secure? *screw this Linux thing*" Cosimo No many I would guess. --
