This is has so many problems that it's sort of silly to just name one. But for me, this makes OS research much more painful, let alone anyone else doing anything with Linux that isn't using a distro blessed by Microsoft or one their proxies.
If they are frequently switching between Linux and Windows on a dual boot system, then yes it will be more painful unless the go to the trouble of generating their own signing keys and adding them to the firmware's key database and signing their Linux.
If they aren't frequently switching back and forth between Windows and Linux, what's wrong with going into the firmware settings and turning off Secure Boot so that they can run whatever Linux they want with no restrictions?
