Just had an interesting question from a colleague who has a notebook and works remotely from random places:

> I've got full-disk (FDE), what else I can do for ?

My answers in random order:

1) Make sure you have Secure Boot enabled in BIOS, and BIOS password set.

That's pretty much all you can do to prevent backdooring & keysniffing of your bootloader today when someone covertly gets physical acces to your laptop.

If this is a viable threat, go for QubesOS, but be aware of its limitations (e.g. inability to access GPU by the operating system, so no games or 3D graphics)
