    Im fairly certain any legacy hardware that doesn’t have secure boot as an option is going to struggle loading BF6 regardless.

    The first two points are not related to secure boot at all.

      you think loading my own kernel modules is not related to secure boot? i guess you don’t work in IT then.

        Most people who work IT don’t even know what a kernel is, tbf

          I recently had an rfid scanner immediately rma-d back that had just been returned to us. The new issue was caused by a setting and not by a defect. I asked our IT/help desk if it WAS a setting that could be changed

          “I don’t know. I get the thing, I check these settings, I check those settings, that’s all I know”

          😑😑😑

          So me and another person are out of our equipment for another couple weeks while the scanner is sent back for “repairs” and the repair people will go “😑 tap tap tap idiots”

          (Edit: I know it’s a setting because I talked with the other person who uses it and I explained the issue and he let me know it is something he changes)

        It doesn’t matter which kernel modules are used, as long as you have signed those changes before rebooting.

          And Microsoft is shutting out most third parties in the near future because of Crowdstrike, so Linux likely won’t be supporting Secure Boot in the future, even if someone did want to enable it for some odd reason.

            Microsoft can’t stop you from signing images with your own keys.

            That’s what I do, and it’s almost entirely automated on Linux these days.

            Microsoft’s kicking third parties out of the kernel because of crowdstrike. Secure boot is a completely different thing Microsoft can’t kick people out of.

        Really? Which would those be? So far I haven’t come upon one.
