  Reference designs and documentation to create Expansion Cards for the Framework Laptop

  

Its like they live in a bubble and have no idea that many developers choose Thinkpad not only because of build quality/keyboard but also because they work well with Linux.

Framework[0] is looking more and more attractive as my next machine.

  Reviews of shim

  

In my opinion, this news is exaggerated.

The 3rd party UEFI CA key is implemented by the Shim, which is an attack vector. To be certified by default for the shim, the workflow is a github issue [0]. This is not necessarily bad, but a vector for social-engineering and more.

If an attacker is signed by the shim, he can execute trusted code on most machines without problems.

IMO it is better to leave this choice to the user to take this risk and enable the shim. Who installs linux should make this choice consciously
