FSF Criticises Ubuntu For Dropping Grub 2 For Secure Boot 296
sfcrazy writes "The Free Software Foundation (FSF) has published a whitepaper suggesting how free operating systems can deal with UEFI secure boot. In the whitepaper, the foundation has criticized the approach Canonical/Ubuntu has taken to deal with the problem. The paper reads: 'It is not too late to change. We urge Ubuntu and Canonical to reverse this decision, and we offer our help in working through any licensing concerns. We also hope that Ubuntu, like Fedora, will actively support users generating and using their own signing keys to run and share any versions of the software, and not require users to install a key from Canonical to get the full benefit of their operating system.'"

Linux users in general are just Unix posers. If you aren't running HPUX on a home Itanium server, then you're just using watered down bullshit.

Linux is mainstream everywhere except the desktop, and I heard the desktop is dead anyway.

Good for you. At least you have one thing going for you, since you appear to be semi-literate.

Is there any way to get editors who know enough English to at least filter out sentences like:
Oh, please, it's just a one-letter typo, no need to get twisted.
There, fixed it.
