VMWare is its own special little world.

But, I can't get VirtualBox to run a plain Win11 install (without Rufus).
I'm sick of testing new versions of VirtualBox for working TPM passthru.

VMWare likes to insist on Secure Boot, or encrypting at least the
control file for the VM. When it is set to encrypt the container
files, that wastes disk space.

Windows, for its contribution, reached into UEFI and it revokes the old
MS Certificate, and installs a newer Certificate. That's a kind of "fix" for
Black Lotus. Linux, for its part, had to sign the Linux shim with the newer
Certificate (requiring people to fly to the air-gapped signing setup and
do it in person). Newer Linux DVDs and their shim, are now signed with
a certificate that is the same as the one Windows 11 installed. This
means you don't have to do anything special to boot whatever you want.

To get this to work on my Big machine, I actually had to install Win11 in
parallel with an existing Win11, *just* to get the update to install that
installs the certificate. Then I removed the excess Windows installation,
and since the UEFI store is in hardware, the certificate is then
present so the existing Windows can Secure Boot. That's an example of
the hassle involved, to keep the Black Lotus status of the machine correct.
(The Big machine has been given the task of Secure Boot testing.)

Computers are just... endless fun... and you can hardly get any
work done. It took *hours* today, just to make a simple PDF.

Now, try and do *that* on a modern computer. It's a PDF
with copies of full fonts (not subset) inside it. Some other
tools I have, don't even want to work with the file, when
it has full fonts in it :-) Well, that's how PDF used to work.
