Restricted Boot

Good name for Secure Boot. Saw that on GitHub.

But I think doing what I’m trying to do so it works in Secure Boot isn’t possible now.

Now to see what happens if Grub isn’t signed, but has a partition with Windows 11 on it, will it boot that partition? If so, then good enough, since I don’t need or want Windows. Going to try fixing somebody’s laptop, and they want and/or need Windows.

I suppose Grub in Secure Boot mode, might work with Windows on a Partition. But I now want to know what happens if Grub isn’t signed but something else is. Also, might be different in a VM then on bare metal. Also her laptop could have a hardware problem as well, and then I won’t be doing much.

Apple doesn’t want you doing what you want with the shit you give them money for. Google apparently doesn’t anymore. So I doubt Microsoft does. Good way to not let people do what they want? Secure Boot. It’s not about security. About money? Not even sure of that.

Clearly somebody or a group of people, have been planning on what’s happening in the US for a long time.

Something on internet said you can’t select the profile to boot from.

But if you use a VM, and it has secure boot turned on, it’ll try to boot the partition with secure boot. Said some of the shit Windows does, but couldn’t find it, probably because it wants the first partition.

And if you click enter fast enough, it just goes to the menu thing where you can go into the settings or try booting the drive again, but then trying to boot drive again, it does nothing.

Well, either way, it doesn’t work in a VM. Bummer.
