This might come as a surprise to you, but Linux works just fine with UEFI.
Wyatt Lewis
I'm using an EFI stub kernel on this Gentoo PC. Didn't see a need for Grub.
Eli Rodriguez
It doesn't though? I've installed numerous distros on UEFI and I had literally no issues.
Landon Hill
It's not
Gabriel Allen
no?
Jaxon Rodriguez
That kills fags like you OP.
Jeremiah Bennett
You might be thinking of SecureBoot, which M$ has a tight grip on.
Dominic Brown
Not really, but it triggers my autism. I don't really want a whole OS for a bootloader.

So you are like sitting at your moms home, masturbating to anime porn and out of the sudden you've got this idea.
>Oh man I'm gonna make one of those UEFI threads on Jow Forums haha
>People gonna think I know what I'm talking about
I dont say that very often but you are gay, OP.

i tried installing linux on a macbook. it basically drove me back to macos. thanks linux. maybe one day you retards figure shit out. then, when that day comes, maybe you retards will figure out how to implement a touchpad in a non-retarded way.
Julian Parker
well you bought a laptop with a retarded touchpad, Linux just showed it for what it is
Ryan Williams
Go into bios menu. Enable legacy mode. Format with good old MBR. Problem solved. Duh. These twenty year old boomers have no clue.
Caleb Mitchell

Jonathan Foster
fedora unbuntu and linux mint have signing keys.
Hunter Lopez
>muh touchpad
Keep using MacOS user, you're clearly not ready for a real computer.
Leo Campbell
They don't either. You can easily generate your own signing key, sign your kernel with it, and add the key to your UEFI. Then you have fully functioning secure boot on Linux, even if you built your own kernel.
Ryan James
>easily
Luke Reed
Huh?
No it doesn't?
Saged.
Jack Hall
So you're telling me this setup
>Secure Boot UEFI
>Custom keys
>Signed kernel+initramfs+EFIStub
>GPT partitions
>LVM and LUKS
is impossible then?
Luke Price
It becomes much easier once you read the docs the kernel comes with.
Wyatt Murphy
My shitty L*novo laptop refuses to boot Linux from UEFI unless its loader called like some popular distro (i.e. Ubuntu). What. The. Fuck.
Gabriel Jackson
>L*novo laptop
I guess it wasn't a thinkpad because those have almost perfect support on Linux/GNU.
Levi Rivera
>almost perfect support on Linux/GNU
kek
Justin Cruz
no dumbass, it's just that ubongo sets up grub and systemdboot correctly
Samuel Morgan
The same issue would arise with Windows. Apple uses custom touchpads with their own communication protocol instead of using synaptics like everyone else; they control it both on a hardware and software level, and their software is made specifically for that touchpad. There's no point in implementing an entire new way of mouse input just for a couple of laptops that aren't as common as people think; just make a basic driver that plugs into the existing interface.
Joshua Richardson
Disable secure boot
Xavier Rogers
what? linux literally can be compiled as an efi app.
Brayden Jones
ya, extremely fucking easy. I'm doing it right now. systemd-boot even provides an efi-stub binary that makes it as easy as a few objcopy's and a signing with your db.crt
Xavier Allen
no, it's actually a well-known screw-up on Lenovo's consumer shitbooks
Nathaniel Anderson
don't buy garbage next time kiddo.
Bentley Clark
>Lelnovo pleb shit
The only decent laptops they make are Thinkpads, despite the best effort of their Chinese engineers. It's only a matter of time until even those are so shitty that Jow Forums starts shilling Dell professional laptops.
