Do not suggest to disable Secure Boot

Open jirislav opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Secure Boot is actually a great mechanism to prevent unauthorized kernel manipulation, we should embrace keeping it enabled, only falling back when nothing else works.

However, disabling Secure Boot is mentioned within all installation methods in README.md.

For instruction of how to manage access to EC while in Secure Boot, you could find this useful (the manual installation part is applicable to any distribution): https://github.com/YoyPa/isw/issues/265#issue-1419231642

Hi, thanks for the info! :-]

I'll leave a link to it in the readme. I'm ditching acpi_ec once msi-ec is merged with the official kernel, so I won't be making any changes as of now. Things will get way better once we have our own kernel module, thanks to BeardOverflow's amazing work as well as Red Hat's cooperation.

ISW-Modern was just a temporary solution while I come up with my own, will have to put it on the backburner for a few months until the situation in Iran calms down.

So is the msi-ec driver still being worked on? Really wish msi contributed to the kernel
