the fuck do you mean "developer accounts"? "push" updates?
just fucking double click an .exe
it's why windows is better than Linux, you don't need any of that shit.
>>
>>108558025
You can't run a driver on Windows unless it's signed with a EV certificate that's Microsoft approved.
On Loonix, you can enroll a MOK (Machine Owner Key) and use that to sign your own kernel modules, on Windows, if Microsoft won't allow you to sign drivers, you're SOL.

>>108558066
>you can enroll a MOK (Machine Owner Key) and use that to sign your own kernel modules
You don't need to do that shit anymore. You can just enroll your custom SecureBoot keys in mobo (although you need to enroll microslop keys for compatibility reasons as well) and then make a unified kernel image which will host kernel, initramfs and efi stub, so you just sign a single efi executable.
>>
>>108558143
What, using test signing mode? You consider that an option? Where 40% of software just refuses to run and you get a watermark on your desktop?
>>
next time just say you don't know what the catalog is and be done with it
>>108555137
>>
>>108558147
Good to know. Does any distro have support for actually doing that automatically on kernel updates? Can you ditch shim entirely? Do you just add the kernel as an efi executable into nvram or do you still use a bootloader?

>>108558180
Is this the option that literally adds a watermark to your desktop saying that unsigned drivers are enabled, or that was the test mode the other anon mentioned?
I remember I had to install some unsigned driver several years ago, and whatever thing I did kept the watermark as long as it was enabled.
>>
>>108558204
Also, it allows ANY software to install a driver, not just ones you (the device owner) explicitly allow. This is terrible for security.

I think every distro can do this: Debian and Arch both have documentation and upgrade hooks. I'm doing this on my Arch system because this allows me to unlock luks partitions using tpm2

Yes

You can load kernel directly from nvram but I'm using systemd-boot for convenience

Disable HyperV by turning off CPU virtualization. That will get rid of VBS, Windows Hello, and more.

there is no reason for microsoft jeets to not implement this for their consumers because consumers who buy laptops at walmart and amazon are a small % compared to enterprise, and their choices simply don't matter. after all it's easier to support a whitelist of (((verified))) software, like adobe reader, copilot and whatsapp, not some hacker autist third party disk encryption or network sniffers.

Linux secure boot really is a headache that doesn't add any real security anyway. The generated MOK is usually stored unencrypted on the filesystem anyway, so any attacker who gets root can just sign whatever module they want anyway, or compromise the entire bootloader.

It's not like Windows' secure boot is much better; what it adds is "safety" for software vendors to reliably determine you're a good goy who's not in control of their own computer and are, thus, allowed to run the software you purchased from them.

Feel free to tell me how I'm wrong if I am. But that's the impression secure boot gives me.

The powers that be have a new system that has been in the development for decades now, ready to be rolled out in the coming years. It will operate in parallel starting sometime this year and by the next decade it will be fully operational as the Agenda 2030 goals are slowly being implemented.
There will be no collapse, no violence, no uprising, no world war, no draft, no revolution, no killing of jews or politicians or other such fantasies. Instead there will be law & order, compliance and total surveillance until the very end. AI will be at the center of it all.

The Great Reset is inevitable.

For basic bullshit like browsing the internet linux is even smoother than winblows nowadays. Updating is done thru gui as well.
it’s the moderately advanced use that is an issue, bullshit like full ffmpeg not being the default ffmpeg and needing both nvidia gpu and harness for drivers to work properly.
