UEFI installs

Have we tested the iso images on strict uefi firmware.  Legacy bios is going away rapidly.

MX Linux uses signed Kernels and only offers UEFI .iso's in signed and not signed kernel versions.

They state in their install recommendations, to ensure UEFI is enabled  and disable 'Secure Boot' for installation, then after installation enable 'Secure Boot'.

Will Artix Linux follow a similar process with UEFI/Secure Boot installs?

they don't need any signatures if they didn't lock them down - which is a vicious action on the part of MS.

That is not what I was talking about, BTW.

I understand the discussion is about UEFI. MX Linux, as an example of UEFI only iso's, they don't offer legacy installs.
I'm sorry if the Kernel Signing portion was distracting.

No - you do not understand.  The partitioning of the iso has to be set up correctly for it to boot under UEFI, and it is more than just an issue of signatures and more than just having an /efi directory.  I am not even sure an ISO 9660 will be bootable in the future.  I was reading some places, perhaps bad information, that a thumb needed to be partitioned with a gpt partition scheme.
