    Am I right in assuming this only applies to single disks partitioned with both Windows and a Linux distro?

        Even separate disks? Ouch. I’m guessing Fedora is not impacted here.

          Yes. Separate or single disks makes no difference, it writes changes to the efi partition that bios references to boot.

          I don’t know whether fedora is impacted, the article specifies the following as documented impacts

          " The reports indicate that multiple distributions, including Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Zorin OS, and Puppy Linux, are all affected."

          And I also note that at least 2 arch implementations are impacted in addition to that list (i first saw it on arch forums).

          I would suggest you definitely DON’T assume fedora is unaffected until you check your install, fedora participates in safeboot so given all the article listed distros also do (and arch has a method for it)

          Odds are they’re impacted, M$ has done a scattergun on this, the only ones you can be sure are unaffected are those still bios booting rather than uefi

            Appreciate the heads up. I don’t have a particular need for secureboot on the workstation I have in mind so I suppose I can just leave that disabled for now.
