I read this page few times but I am unable to understand what's Linus's
idea..Why he disagree ...
whether the Linux kernel should include code that makes it easier to
boot Linux on Windows PCs. This goes back to Microsoft requiring

PCs designed to run Windows 8 use UEFI firmware with the Secure Boot
feature enabled

My guess is, no one bothered watching the youtube video. But it is
just speculation on my part.
Maybe you can list the items you would like explained.

There are major security issues with the trust of the embedded key, if
the private key part of that key gets compromised, there is no coming
back. Also, why should Canonical trust Redhat's key, or Novell (SUSE),
maybe the debian devs. It is a very very bad idea to have a PE binary
which contains a redhat public key that is microsoft signed. This
request is suggesting embedding 2 proprietary things into the Linux
Kernel just so microsoft can control the x86 market.
