Unlike most of HN I am not a "computer person". I know not to click on suspicious links and that's about all that can be said of me. So I'm not sure if you're giving me a hint, or doing the equivalent of telling me to delete System32!

They explained how to trick HP laptops with hard-coded EFI paths into booting Ubuntu anyway. This will overwrite the Windows EFI, so only try this at home if you know what you are doing.

I probably wouldn't know but I appreciate having the resource!
