There was a problem hiding this comment.
LGTM. As a note, we should probably add a call out that points to it in the relevant releases on /release-notes/ just so it's even more discoverable.
Documents the Microsoft 2011 -> 2023 Secure Boot CA transition: current AlmaLinux shim signing status, verification steps, the recommended fwupd update path, manual efivar enrollment, and guidance for KVM, VMware, Azure, GCP and AWS virtual machines. Adds the page to the Documentation navbar menu and references the dual-signed shim 16.1 in the 9.8 and 10.2 release notes changelogs.

What
Adds a new Documentation page explaining the Microsoft 2011 → 2023 UEFI Secure Boot certificate transition (the 2011 CAs expire in June 2026), adds it to the Documentation navbar menu (between NVIDIA Drivers and FAQ), and references the dual-signed shim 16.1 at the top of the 9.8 and 10.2 release notes changelogs with a link to the new page.
