no, that isn't how it works at all. It is possible for some people to

Hi All
If anybody can get a key from Verisign for $99 that makes a mockery of having
secure boot in the first place. We can take it as read that there are long term
plans by Microsoft to tighten up the secure boot spec in the future in their
favour.
To my mind, this first pass is just to

Just to be clear here, isn't there some relevance to the secure boot.
I mean even in Linux systems you wouldn't want malware to install
itself onto the software which runs the firmware. Wouldn't such
malware a danger to all systems, be they Windows or Linux?

This is going to happen even if you don't have Secure Boot. UEFI and
BIOS *do not* have compatible
I would also think it unlikely to be UEFI that is causing the problem.
I came across an occurrence some years ago, where I could not get an Ubuntu
CD to boot up despite setting the BIOS. There turned out to be some weird
configuration of key presses necessary when booting up at the BIOS stage.
