Matthew Garrett Has a Fix To Prevent Bricked UEFI Linux Laptops

hypnosec writes "UEFI guru Matthew Garrett, who cleared the Linux kernel in Samsung laptop bricking issues, has come to rescue beleaguered users by offering a survival guide enabling them to avoid similar issues.

To prevent this from happening, he has provided a Kernel patch."
