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.
