This conflates multiple issues. First is that T2 implements Secure Boot, 
and doesn’t trust certificates used by Linux distributions. This is a 
policy decision. It can be turned off by the end user without arcane 
knowledge.

The second issue is that T2 brokers access to a wide array of 
components, including storage, and it looks like it happens in a way 
that Linux doesn’t know how to deal with. This is a technical issue that 
can be resolved with Linux kernel work, most likely.
