  • Disable secureboot
  • Things just work

And in the end you just remove the need for a physical attacker to use whatever vulnerability there is in your EFI implementation anyway.

Things just work

Yeah, if you have only one OS. Or when you have more than one, but the other one doesn't constantly try to fuck up the first one.

MBR is easy in this regard. Windows never touches the MBR magic, even when updating, so it's all good. GRUB keeps the MBR in check, Windows doesn't meddle, everything's hunky dory in MBR boot land.

Windows never touches the MBR magic

I get you're young from that statement alone.

I'm not (38). I should have been more precise, Windows doesn't touch the MBR magic any more.
