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.

    Isn’t Windows a hybrid kernel? Perhaps things like drivers technically don’t run in the kernel and instead technically operate outside of it. Linux loads kernel modules directly, so maybe that’s the issue?

    Or maybe drivers are also signed by Microsoft’s key?

    I don’t know a ton about Secure Boot, so maybe it’s something else entirely.
