    Secure Boot


    I have a computer that I built recently. Here are the specs: pcpartpicker.com/b/7kskcf#cx3836426. For some reason I am not allowed to get secure boot according to the Health Check and I cannot find the option in the bios. Can someone help me?

    :)

    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.
