Do you have any advice for someone that dual boots SteamOS and Windows 10 on a Steam Deck?
I’ve heard online that since SteamOS manually signs keys or something, that if any changes happen to the kernel that later need to be updated by SteamOS, I’d need to re-sign the keys or whatever. Idk I’m not well versed in any of this
I’ve heard it’s as easy as downloading the M$ keys to enable Secure Boot, but I also don’t want to brick my Deck.
Windows 10 support is ending soon so there’s no reason to have it on your steam deck. Steam will stop supporting it sooner after Microsoft does, just like steam does with Apples operating system.
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.
It doesn’t matter which kernel modules are used, as long as you have signed those changes before rebooting.
You can’t install most linux distributions with secure boot enabled.
This is outdated information. Linux has supported secure boot for quite a while now.

Windows 10 commercial is ending, not the LTSC versions. Those are good for another 2-7 years iirc
No, they are killing it unless you pay and extra $30 a month and use a Microsoft account and kill local accounts.
Source?
Really? Which would those be? So far I haven’t come upon one.
I don’t think he needs a winning argument. I think EA needs to justify this kernel level AC, not the other way around.
I’m agreeing with point 4.
Weird, for me it was just flicking the switch in UEFI and now Grub and through it Windows 10 and Fedora 43 boot in Secure Boot.
