When doing Workstation installations, i’ve noticed that both shim-x64
and shim-ia32
get installed. Could anyone with more understanding of UEFI than me explain why? I would have thought only the shim matching the machine hardware would be needed.
Since Fedora no longer supports ia32 hardware, why is that shim even in the distribution? Many libraries are provided in both 32 bit and 64 bit versions to support 32 bit software, but that doesn’t explain 32 bit shim, does it?
