Typically one takes the contents of the iso, places that on a partition,
and then makes it bootable with grub. I'm not sure you can boot the iso
directly.

It is not a completely stupid idea. When it is adequately supported it is
something I intend to use. It is possible (unless I misunderstood
something) to provide your own keys and sign your own OS partition.


Anyway, I am kind of surprised people are still having problems with UEFI.
It's necessary to turn SecureBoot off, but otherwise I just got everything to
work.
