Sorry, but it's the ONLY viable solution. Any "solution" that removes users'
freedom (and that's the case of ANY "solution" which leaves "Secure" Boot
enabled) cannot be seriously considered as viable.

Secureboot support does *NOT* limit your freedom as long as it is
optional (the default setting does not matter).

The point I'm trying to make is the default setting might actually be
the most important thing that matters when it comes to new users that
want to install Fedora.
- "You need to disable SecureBoot in the BIOS settings in order to
install Fedora"
- "BIOS settings? What's that? Oh a blueish DOS-like command-line thing?
Freaky. Disable SecureBoot? Why on earth would I want to make my system
less secure? *screw this Linux thing*"
