Enable Secure Boot on Pop!OS Linux on Surface Pro

2021/07/23

I'm surprised that there's not a single guide talking about this, even within pop!os community. They just blame systemd-boot for the reason behind it and just call it a day.

Meanwhile, I managed to enable Secure Boot in Pop!OS Linux on my Surface Pro 2017 thanks to the guide hidden beneath a single SuperUser post. There's some adjustment I have to make.

Main Goal for achieving this

Assumptions

Here's the guide

Essentially, I just ignore the original systemd-boot.efi and just make Preloader target Pop!OS' vmlinuz.efi instead. Didn't I mentioned before that this setup has nothing to do to increase security? Now enjoy your boot without the annoying red bar.
