QUESTION Installing EAC supported signed kernels

is there a simple way to install the ubuntu or fedora signed kernels as an arch package for EAC support (hopefully in addition to the normal arch kernel when I want to use it)?

Arch is gonna ship their own signed kernel once they get some architecture stuff working. So that's not necessary

Is this confirmed or what you think?

Confirmed, Arch has been working on infrastructure to allow them to distribute signed kernels for a while, most importantly https://signstar.archlinux.page/

EDIT: To be clear, what is "confirmed" is the plans to start shopping signed kernel binaries. I don't know if they have been in talks with the Epic people about whitelisting their keys specifically

Running two kernels on based on different versions. Sounds like a plan. /s

If you're asking about EACv2 then no, that won't be viable. The research paper behind EACv2 itself calls thing kind of thing, from what I can remember.

They said it needs a kernel signed by a well known group.
