This low-level software is the glue that enables Linux to run on Secure Boot PCs, and it has a nasty problem.

Every fucking time. “Critical security problem with all Linux machines!!!” Turns out you need physical access and the ability to program tools that don’t exist yet

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.
