Is this "blog", or whatever, is now telling me that I have been booting my computer INSECURELY for the past 30 years?
It's not Swapnil telling you... he's just the messenger. Don't shoot him, he's a member of the openSUSE community too :-)
The problem here is UEFI.
So, get rid of the parasite.
In a perfect world.. but the harsh reality is, it IS coming, and it will be a part of all hardware in the not so distant future. Supposedly not possible to disable on ARM devices, and can be disabled in the BIOS on all other devices. We can bury our heads in the proverbial sand, and hope it goes away... or we can face the reality that it will be here regardless of what we think. So, do we make the best of the situation? Or do we do nothing, and openSUSE simply won't work (unless you're technically savvy enough to register your own keys or know how to bypass UEFI) on new UEFI limited hardware where other distros will?
