BTW, it's 6 years since I last set custom #SecureBoot keys on a laptop. And hey, the process really matured over this time. It's now super easy.

1️⃣ Clear secure boot keys
2️⃣ Run # sbctl create-keys
3️⃣ Run # sbctl enroll-keys

Done.

I remember back then, I neded to manually genrate keys, convert keys, copy them to fat32 partition, load them one by one in the efi user interface...

And last thing, the #ArchLinux installation is still the one I installed back in 2012.
I always just create new partition layout and copy the root filesystem from old machine to the new one.

My first distro was Ubuntu, but it often broke a lot on major version updates. So I did several distro hops until I landed on Arch. Arch is rolling release distro. No major updates, just regular small updates. I like it.

Of course It also breaks from time to time, but it's usually just a one app that changed configuration format, or deprecated some feature. And you know what was last updated and thus can more easily find the culprit. I was always able to fix it.

It's 14 years old installation, it still perfectly works and evolves.
It used to be installed with grub, in dual boot with Windows, now it sits there alone and boots by efistub.
It used to run InitV, X11 and Pulse audio, now it uses SystemD, Wayland, and PipeWire.

This is it's 4th machine and still stable. I love Linux, and especially Arch.

I heard something.
It seems to me like community hysteria and bad company response on the topic.🤷 Well, I know a little about this, but what I heard, they are paying to multiple open source projects, right? And one of them is Omarchy/Hyperland? Which is run by a open far right idiot? That itself is not making them facist.
