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.
In my understanding, Secure Boot has absolutely nothing to do with games or kernel-level anticheats some games use. Those latter are completely different beasts, more similar to drivers. There are many concerns about Secure Boot, like how it can harm Linux adoption or eventually give MS hardware control overreach.
Why do games require secureboot to be on then? Its gotta be related to their kernel level anti cheat.
Idk, this is the first time I hear about it. Do you know which particular games do this? I played few with kernel-level anticheats (Genshin Impact, League of Legends) without having Secure Boot on, even though my hardware fully supports it and I have it enabled now on Linux.
Fortnight and bf6, valorant, likely gta6. All games I wont play anyway
I think both windows and Linux turn on a number of kernel hardening options when secure boot is on.
