Is it possible to install OpenSUSE 12.3 on my Win8 secure boot Asus Zenbook?

The fact people have to ask this because of "secure boot" is, in my opinion, some incredibly sad shit. Locking down hardware, or erecting barriers, bothers me a lot.

It should, they have added secure boot support in 12.3

At least heise (the publisher behind the H) that installing worked on a test computer with activated secure boot in their German article

On their wiki opens use writes that it's still experimental: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:UEFI#Secure_Boot

Try disabling SecureBoot in the BIOS. I was able to install Linux on my girlfriend's lenovo x230 with secure boot and windows 8 simply by toggling the option off.

I have it installed with Win8 and secure boot enable in a Lenovo machine. And in a secure boot enable dell machine without Windows.

Can't you disable secure boot in the bios?
