Not much hope in this as most antiX is a small distro, with a small amount of users, and most of these users have no UEFI, as their computers are old (so most will not care).
If I am not mistaken even the new(er) computers with UEFI do not usually have secure boot turned on for convenience. I am not sure if secure boot is turned on when you buy a new laptop (typically with Windows) though. If my conjecture is true then new or old, still not using signed kernels.
Therefore most of Linux installations seem affected unless you are lucky to run antiX with no persistence (Frugal or Live that is). Out of all Linux distros only antiX can be easily set with no persistence, so it is not really vulnerable to this malware – at least if it gets infected during session, reboot will return antiX to clean state. No permanent infection.
Nothing beats antiX Frugal or Live for security…
For similar reason the Live TENS (Trusted End Node System) published by Department of Defense should not be vulnerable across reboot and this one is recommended for remote use by military and government. It is available to public for download but I would still recommend antiX as much more convenient to use.
