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.

Some newer distros like Bazzite are pretty awesome in that they install their own Secure Boot keys during the first time setup.

That's pretty dope! I imagine we'll see more distros follow suit as the September expiration of Microsoft's keys approaches.

My distro, openSUSE Tumbleweed, does that as well, but I imagine plenty don't.

Edit: I'm wrong, looks like they do that for "Trusted Boot," but not "secure boot," if this documentation is to be believed. It's an option, not forced. I'm going to check later if it's configured properly on my machine that I set up several years ago.

Apparently. OpenSUSE is going hard on the "we build quality" angle, and I'm here for it.
