    Hello,I have gotten the desire to dual boot my PC with a Linux distro, however, needing it to be secure boot compatable is limiting my options and requires more work to make functional. Could I disable secure boot in my BIOS and still be able to load Windows 11 when needed? Or does it require secure boot to be always on after installation for the OS to load?Thank you.

    :)

    Windows 11 disabling secure boot after installation?

    I have installed Windows 11 pro with TPM and Secure Boot enabled, I want to install Arch Linux and make Dual Boot but I need to disable secure boot, anyone has any experience disabling secure boot on their Win 11 system after the OS is installed and running ?
    What about update if secure boot is disabled ?

  3. Windows 8 Secure Boot Feature: Not So Secure?

    So Linux is switching to secure boot also? Or they have to because of UEFI?

    Here is a statement from a Kernal Developer at Red Hat:

    I'm not sure this exploits the legacy BIOS but rather it exploits the legacy boot method on MBR drives, injecting a signed key before the OS boots, which you are correct in that it has nothing to do with Windows 8. And the simplest fix would just be to require boot drives use GPT when Secure Boot is enabled in UEFI.
