Rocky Linux release attracts 80,000 downloads as ex-CentOS users mull choices

Alma's shim was signed before they released 8.4.

I had no problem building an AlmaLinux 8.4 server from their released .iso with secure boot enabled.

This will be a show-stopper (or delayer) for some. From the Rocky Linux 8.4 release notes:

"A Note about Secure Boot

We know many of you depend on Secure Boot. It is a non-trivial process to get Secure Boot for a new OS. This process is underway and the shim-review process should begin very soon. Rocky Linux version 8.4 will initially be released without Secure Boot support enabled by default. However, once the proper packages have been built and signed, another set of ISOs for Rocky Linux version 8.4 will be released with Secure Boot support available."
