Is secure boot actually bad ? (sh.itjust.works)

Id like to hear thoughts. Of course us gamers hate kernel level anti cheat, but is that actually tied to secureboot?

I know some/most distros can boot in secure mode, so it doesn't seem like an issue there.

With all the new games moving to it, looks like we will all have to sit them out or install Spyware (microshit) to play. I will opt not to.

¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ it's not necessarily bad afaik, but it is a hassle if you don't use windows, so it's not something I plan on putting up with really

Thankfully none of the games I play seem to be going that route (yet)

The games that use it seem to be made by companies we shouldn't be supporting anyway, so win win.
