| Factually wrong.
|
| Any regular PC owner can run Linux on modern x86 hardware
| in at least three ways:
|
| - Legacy BIOS MBR boot
|
| - UEFI boot
|
| - UEFI secure boot
|
| Only the last one of those three options requires a

|
| No OEM or PC vendor wants to _limit_ their amount of

|
| Taking away the ability to disable secure boot or taking
