On x86 systems, the ability to disable secure boot is mandated by
Microsoft and needed to debug Microsoft drivers and since all the
hardware manufacturers want to comply to this specification, you can be
rest assured they will provide this functionality and once you disable
secure boot (instructions for this will likely be in a Fedora wiki
page), then you are free to load up any custom kernel/kernel module of
your choice. Also Fedora will provide the tools that the project itself
uses within the official repository (ie) will be free and open source
and instructions to use your own key in custom mode.
Thanks a lot for the clarification.
