What's the current state of dual booting (particularly Debian (Wheezy) and Win8) on UEFI ("Secure" boot) PCs?
So two major points:
1. Just turn off secure boot, it's such a minimal benefit that turning it off isn't a real security loss.
2. Why are you deal booting? These days choosing a primary OS and just running the other in a VM using something like VMware's "unity" mode that largely merges the OS is a really nice way to do things.
Good points.
This system isn't for me. Otherwise I'd just disable secure boot (and re-enable it in the (hopefully rare) occasion of needing it to boot 'doze8).
Windows 8 doesn't require secure boot, and I'm not actually aware of any functionality lost by disabling it.
