Apple Blocks Linux From Booting On New Hardware With T2 Security Chip (phoronix.com)

Apple's new-generation Macs come with a new so-called Apple T2 security chip that's supposed to provide a secure enclave co-processor responsible for powering a series of security features, including Touch ID. At the same time, this security chip enables the secure boot feature on Apple's computers, and by the looks of things, it's also responsible for a series of new restrictions that Linux users aren't going to like.
The issue seems to be that Apple has included security certificates for its own and Microsoft's operating systems (to allow running Windows via Bootcamp), but not for the certificate that was provided for systems such as Linux. Disabling Secure Boot can overcome this, but also disables access to the machine's internal storage, making installation of Linux impossible.

We're taking our Open Source projects away from you. I'm ending binary releases for OSX for my projects.

Nice work, fucktards!
Yay more landfill.
I don't subscribe to your religion, so throwing away old junk isn't a sin for me.
Old electronics go to free electronics recycling. It's nice not to have tons of old junk lying around.
