Agreed here too. Back in the day, I could move a hard drive to a new machine, power it on, and it would just start up normal. Now, secure boot firmware is starting to make this insanely difficult. After my old laptop died, I tried moving the old hard disk to a newer laptop (an HP ProBook). After 3 hours struggling and tinkering, not just with me, but also 2 other software engineer colleagues in the room, nothing we tried could get the newer laptop to boot off the old one's disk. In the end, I had to dd my old hard disk's ext4 partition to the existing hard disk on the new laptop, resize it, then run a grub repair. Cheers David On 2/08/20 4:20 pm, john wrote:

Seems like this whole “secure boot” business is more trouble than it’s worth.
