> Is this really true, in 2019 when this was written or today? This is true in the sense that they only ship with MS' keys as trusted, but all MoBos (including laptops) I had allow enrolling your own. Some might handle not having MS' keys better (or at all) than others, but it should in theory be possible to remove them, whether it will boot after is a different question (see option-ROM [1]) [1]: https://github.com/Foxboron/sbctl/wiki/FAQ#option-rom
