Summary:
Secure Boot and how to deal with the upcoming certificate updates that
are going to be required when the old Microsoft CA expires in June.
Many systems will need this update.
"I am hoping to go into the details of both installing your own
certificates if you don't want to use the Microsoft certificates and
how to deal with the Microsoft CA when you need to such as fulling the
IT requirements for your employeer when you want to run Linux as your
main operating system. I've had to deal with that to get my primary
work laptop dual-boot enabled and with working Nvidia drivers that
needed to be signed with a MOK."
Bio:
"While I got to play with my first Sun Workstation running Solaris
back in 1996, but it was getting Red Hat Linux where my interest
really took off. Since then, I have moved to better options and have
spent some time contributing to various distributions and even a
little time with FreeBSD ports. My primary job revolves around
embedded engineering of some sort. I am currently working at Intel and
am one of the very few people on the floor with an IT-approved Linux
desktop for my primary workstation."
