I just bought a computer that came preinstalled with Windows 11 pro. I have set the BIOS to boot to USB so I can install openSUSE. The machine ignores the USB drive.
I think this is a security "feature" to prevent the installation of malware, which Microsoft defines as anything you didn't get from Microsoft.
OpenSUSE uses a Microsoft signed "shim" for their software. I suspect this means they need to get it signed with the new signing keys.
Can anyone confirm if this is the case??
open the machines bios and change the boot method to legacy mode to do the install then google "linux install change boot from legacy to uefi" to change it back, or not. I have machines which some work in legacy and some in eufi. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet oftc
