While the FSF seems happy with the root Fedora is taken, it is interesting that every suggestion they make will make user's life harder.
I realise that they want to make software more free, and that this is broadly all Microsoft's fault, but I'll be honest as the years go by, I just get... tired. I just want to be able to install Linux as easily as Windows, and have it just work. I don't want to have to install extra keys.
That's kinda backwards. It's not the FSF that is pushing Secure Boot to begin with, but it is the FSF that is pushing for everybody to be able to install their Linux as easily as Windows and not only Fedora or Ubuntu users.
Crypto multiplies, or even exponentiates, the effort you take to secure something vs. the effort an attacker makes to break it. But if you put 0 effort into logging in to your computer (no password, or the same simple password for every website, etc.) it will be broken easily, because 0 to the power of anything is still 0. If your computer has restricted boot, your only options are to make some effort at keeping your computer secure, or let someone else make the decision of what to run on your computer. If you're looking for convenience at the expense of security, you should push back against Secure Boot being enabled by default (which Win8 "certification" mandates).
