  • HP Spectre laptop Broadwell (alienpup) → asked more info
  • MacBook with T2 chip: blocked by Apple

Secure Boot works on

  • Dell Inspiron 5559
  • Acer Aspire A315-21G (Rodney Vinen)
  • Acer Predator Helios 300 (Jeff Jones)
  • Intel Hades Canyon NUC - i7-8809G CPU (Jeff Jones)
  • Inspiron 20 3043 with Intel Pentium N3530 (Jeff Jones)
  • unspecified 2017 IBM ThinkPad (Jeff Jones)
  • HP Probook 470 G5 (Jeff Jones)
  • Compulab Fitlet desktop (alienpup)
  • HP EliteBook 840G1 (intrigeri)

fixes the boot on

I’ll keep triaging further feedback as it arrives.

I’m now satisfied we had enough feedback to spot any really bad regression, so I’m closing this issue.
Among the results, only 1 case is surprising: the “HP Spectre laptop Broadwell” where Secure Boot does not work, pending further investigation if/when I receive more info. But it’s not a regression so I won’t treat it as a blocker.
