From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Does the SecureBoot key expiration matter if SecureBoot is disabled? (lemmy.ml)

I have completely forgotten about the SecureBoot key expiration that is coming on Wednesday. I don't have SecureBoot enabled on any of my devices, but I wonder if it could cause issues down the line if I don't ensure that the keys have been updated?

Microsoft confirmed your computer will boot just fine, it’s just that secure boot is effectively off.

It’s no different from like 80% of Linux distros that don’t support secure boot at all. Except for those you have to actually manually disable secure boot to boot.
