    Kali Linux work on secure boot

    Hi Guys,

    My main operating system is windows 10.

    I have downloaded kali image and put it on my usb stick, to install it as my 2nd operating system I had to disable secure boot, once installed it is recognized as UEFI and therefore I have enabled secure boot once again, however after doing that, booting completely ignores kali and goes straight to windows, when I disabled secure boot again kali worked once again. Is it possible to make it work with secure boot enabled?

    This is the intended behavior of Secure Boot. It doesn't load those Boot loaders which are not signed by Microsoft and completely ignores them.

    There is a boot loader called shim which is actually grub but it is signed by Microsoft. Only the name is different. Offensive Security has not started signing kernel and drivers of kali so currently shim doesn't work for this distribution even though it is available in repositories. Once it is implemented in Debian, it will be imported to kali too.
