>>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.

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?

>>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?

Also, it allows ANY software to install a driver, not just ones you (the device owner) explicitly allow. This is terrible for security.

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.

Fucking hell /g/ really is a breeding ground for midwits.

As someone who's used openvpn and wireguard, ovpn is dogshit. Waaaayyy more overhead. Literally tested it side by side. Ovpn was getting 40% of raw bandwidth, wireguard was getting 90%. This was going to the same pfsense router from the same client device.

openvpn has it's advantages. you can do things with it that wireguard is too simple to do. can a wireguard server push dns servers? that doesn't matter to home users, but in a corporate setting that matters.
