does anyone use secure boot on guix system and could help me figure out how to get that working? or if you don't use it, is there some alternative option you use for security, or a reason you don't feel it's necessary?

something i came across looking into distributions to replace debian is the stance that qubes takes on secure boot: "UEFI Secure Boot is not supported out of the box as UEFI support in Xen is very basic. Arguably secure boot reliance on UEFI integrity is not the best design. [...] See the [Heads project] for a better-designed non-UEFI-based secure boot scheme with very good support for Qubes." https://doc.qubes-os.org/en/latest/introduction/faq.html#is-secure-boot-supported alas, i don't think my framework amd laptop (their first-gen amd) supports open firmware... #debian #secureboot #qubes
