On Apple M3, a Linux KDE plasma desktop under Fedora Asahi Remix is now WORKING! Super excited to share this update and happy to answer any questions! Co-credits to noopwafel and Shiz. :)
do you mean cryptographic keys? or metaphoric keys? becausd they dont need to give any cryptographics keys at all, just look how it is done on x86, you can just add your own keys and most boards let you disable the builtin ones
As there’s currently no functionality for that type of Secure Boot, it’d require an exploit that manupulates the firmware, which is unlikely to happen any time soon.
The M-series hardware is locked down and absofuckinglutely proprietary and locked down and most likely horrible to repair.
But holy shit, every other laptop I’ve ever used looks and feels like a cheap toy in comparison. Buggy firmware that can barely sleep, with shitty drivers from the cheapest components they could find. Battery life in low single digits. The old ThinkPads are kinda up there in perceived ”build quality”, but I haven’t seen any other laptop that’s even close to a modern macbook. Please HP, Dell, Lenovo, Framework or whoever , just give me a functional high quality laptop. I’ll pay.
Apple’s never going to give the keys out for that functionality willingly though, so I suspect you’ll be waiting for a while.

this is why I don’t buy apple hardware, they just go out of their to make it shit (besides the garbage software they include)
