Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.
sbctl
- Show HN: Sbctl – Secure Boot key manager
-
Show HN: SSH-tpm-agent – SSH agent for TPMs
No, this isn't true nor correct.
Secure Boot and TPM do offer tangible security benefits and is security features you can take ownership of.
Secure Boot allows your own key hierarchy, and TPM allows you to take ownership.
The linked boot disk isn't really proof that Secure Boot is useless. If you don't set a MOKManager password (as you should), and you change the security state of the machine while present at the keyboard. Yes you can boot things.
This is intended to make sure people can actually decide to trust things. And having insecure defaults makes this less useful. Not very surprising.
TPMs could also prevent attacks like this on your machine.
Incidentally I've invested quite a bit of time in making user-friendly Secure Boot tooling as well. https://github.com/Foxboron/sbctl

Enabling secure boot for your Arch installation is very easy now with the "sbctl" tool
No problem! The sbctl package ships with a pretty extensive hook out of the box (https://github.com/Foxboron/sbctl/blob/master/contrib/pacman/ZZ-sbctl.hook). It's been very reliable for automatically resigning .efi executables after updates for me.

sbctl fails to find EFI system partition
sbctl verify returns failed to find EFI system partition despite it definitely is there. It's the same issue as this but remounting or restarting doesn't fix it.

Setting up secure boot while dual booting Windows 11 and Arch Linux
By far the easiest is to use sbctl to generate, install and use keys to sign your efi images. You can use mkinitcpio to build the unified kernels automatically and a pacman trigger to rerun the sbctl signing when the kernel is updated. Pretty straightforward (once you've done it once).

Intel OEM Private Key Leak: A Blow to UEFI Secure Boot Security
The question is whether you have any UEFI drivers or not. If they're in the ESP you can just look there to check, but UEFI drivers can also be loaded from PCI cards or baked in the firmware itself.
If you're using a TPM for Secure Boot, you can use the command in https://github.com/Foxboron/sbctl/wiki/FAQ#option-rom to know for sure.

on Ubuntu or derivates of it like Linux Mint just use https://github.com/bkw777/mainline which pulls newer updates automatically

I have tried to install a custom kernel on linux mint called xanmod but now my nvidia driver stopped working how i return to the old kernel? I have a gtx 730
Lastly, of you want to play with kernels, install mainline.....https://github.com/bkw777/mainline

Reviving an old MacBook with Linux? Do these immediately.
On Mint 21? I don't think so. The only possible way would be to install Mint 20.3 which comes with the older Cinnamon before the Mutter rebase. You could then install a newer kernel like 6.3 using Mainline, but you would be stuck with an Ubuntu 20.04 base which means much older apps in the repositories.

Beelink S12 N100/16GB/500GB: An absolute nightmare for HTPC/media server
Out of the box Ubuntu and derivatives (and also Debian upstream of Ubuntu) are probably shipping with older kernels. Normally I'd just suggest installing the GUI kernel version management tool mainline (IIRC mainline should just be available in the Ubuntu software center) and just installing a more recent kernel to get support. Though you indicated you didn't want to touch the command line, it is also very possible to load drivers that are not shipped with the kernel if someone were willing to do so.
