    How to Disable UEFI Secure Boot from the BIOS/UEFI Firmware of Your Motherboard

    UEFI Secure Boot needs no introduction. As it says, it makes your computer “more secure” when enabled. But at times, more security means more hassle. Specially getting different device drivers to work on some Linux distributions is very troublesome with UEFI secure boot enabled. So, if you’re running a personal computer and you don’t care much about secure boot, you might just as well disable UEFI secure boot and get rid of the hassles.

  • Providing a license for package sources
    by Kasimba
    Arch Linux hasn't had a license for any package sources (such as PKGBUILD files) in the past, which is potentially problematic. Providing a license will preempt that uncertainty.

    Before we make this change, we will provide contributors with...
