Thanks! Currently I am using Mint, and it looks like secure boot is disabled.

Thanks for your replies ❤️

Maybe, but what about units supplied by a Linux builder? My last computer was a windows machine I installed Linux on, but that was before this I think. It shipped with windows 7.

I definitely have UEFI, not sure about secure boot.

Not sure, I have a computer from a Linux builder but it still has UEFI. I am trying to figure out where I stand on this.

How would we know if this will affect us? I have been running Linux distros for 20 years and didn’t know Microsoft was involved at any level in firmware.

So… No five?

Interesting. I clicked on a link here a couple weeks ago and was presented with this and wasn’t really sure what it was. Thanks for sharing this! It seems like a good alternative.

The homeless-industrial complex. Which, having thought that out, sounds awful.

I used the block element feature of Ublock, but I don’t know if that works in incognito or if it blocks their cookies. I also grew tired of having to disable it but didn’t consider the ramifications of making it invisible to me 🤔

That is nuts. I’ve always liked hardwired better but hard to do that with a mobile phone.

I don’t really understand how this works, so struggle to see any benefits (only drawbacks😐). It does make me thankful my provider is a small local company. Not the fastest, but probably no spying.
