Currently its a lot of work to setup secure boot manualy. This would be a really benefit
We are a small team of volunteers. We do not have the time, or the resources to worry about secure boot when its not necessary. Many here have no use for such and the team would be wasting its time and resources.

Secure boot is not supported by upstream Archlinux on which EnOS is based.
If there are users who want it, they will have to set it up themselves:

In case someone really wants secure boot out of the box, there are other distros which provide it. Fedora, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, openSUSE are a few that I know of support secure boot OTB. Perhaps there are more.

“Secure boot is not supported by upstream Archlinux on which EnOS is based.”
What does this mean, this its possible to implement
“If there are users who want it, they will have to set it up themselves:”
This is why i suggest to implement it into the installer like other distros
And, there is the crux. Most of us do not want it.

It means, simply put, the by default, it is not implemented as it is not by Archlinux. If a single user wants it, they have to do it themselves.
There is no wish from the majority of the community or the developers for that matter to implement this in the installer.
Archlinux is a Do It Yourself distro. That means if there is something you want which you don’t get OTB, you would need to DIY. Luckily it is enough of a flexible system that permits you bend and twist it to your wishes and desires.
Good Luck!

I have exactly zero interest in Secure Boot. The more simple an operating system is from boot to shutdown the easier it is for me to maintain, I advocate the K.I.S.S. principle although I am here and not running pure UNIX I will admit!
