    Deciding to turn on secureboot on any distro that doesn’t support it out of the box is always a mistake.

    Still have nightmares from that one time i tried doing it under nixOS…

      I would disagree. The idea is great; eliminate preboot malware by trusting the whole boot stack. It has a place in computing and I would like to see it be something easier to work with.

      Pretty much everything about how it’s currently implemented is a mistake, I’ll agree with.

      Alpine is dead simple if used for what’s it’s good at. The LBU is its best feature. It’s great on shitty ARM boards that digest SD cards. I use it on NUT servers throughout my network.
