Samsung laptop shipped with Tiny Core Linux (GPL violation)

<< < (3/3)

aw:
Wow, a laptop retailing for ~US $500 and ships with working TinyCore Linux! As others have mentioned, this should be encouraged rather than fought.

Reason I'm wondering is that Fedora 28 uses a signed kernel key, and an interesting test might be to see if you can boot or run TC from your own thumbdrive, rather than what's already on board - even *if* it seems to work with the oem TC load.

Ie, I'd be totally frustrated as a user seeing TC on board, and perhaps messing it up so badly that I want to reinstall my own TC, and then finding out that you can't for some weird reason.

UEFI is enabled by default, but CSM is supported. ikr? many bios manufacturers start to drop legacy boot mode. I personally use my laptop with EFI enabled. Like you said, Fedora EFI kernel has lockdown feature enabled which is a bit frustrating because my fav hypervisor is vbox. With kernel lockdown enabled, you can't install vbox kernel drivers. Well, this gave me a opportunity to switch over to qemu, with which I'm not satisfied thus far. btw, I haven't a clue on the kernel key(are you talking about TPM? idk). But hey, CSM works. What else do we need?
