Been down the rabbit hole lately of UEFI Secure Boot issues, and decided to write an overview of how it works out-of-the-box in the excellent Debian-based Linux Mint LMDE 6.

Have mostly been researching this stuff as I was looking to replace GRUB entirely with systemd-boot on one of my systems. Will likely write a follow-up piece documenting that journey if I think it'd be interesting to some nerds out there.

    GRUB is just very complex and systemd-boot rather simple.

    Well, except the Systemd part. Efistub or Refind it is for me.

      systemd-boot is basically gummiboot with an interface to systemd so that the latter can get information on boot time in firmware and stuff. I prefer a boot loader instead of Efistub because it allows easier configuration of boot options etc. but it just comes down to personal preference
