Sorry for the crosspost, but I think this is important enough to warrant it.

"Free Software Foundation warns about the danger of computers becoming
Windows-only, calls for signatures to defend the freedom to install free
software "

https://www.fsf.org/news/secure-boot-vs-restricted-boot-in-windows-8

If we do nothing, things could get very ugly for those of us using free
and open-source software (FOSS), and, even worse, make it harder to get
people using FLOSS.
