This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Fuck, I'm gonna have to enable secure boot (and use windows) to play the BF6 open beta, am I gonna get the same buillshit ?

If it doesn't affect my Linux drives I don't care much tbh, I'll probably just nuke windows and reinstall it

If you use Rufus to burn the ISO into the USB, there is an option to patch the ISO to not require secure boot.

It's not a windows issue, BF6 has a some requirements for their anti cheat including secure boot and TPM

What the actual bloody fuck, I didn't know. Well, back to my Factorio I guess.

I basically never boot into windows except to play these anti cheat games with friends anyway, so I'll just bite the bullet and deal with rebooting twice just to change OS to play the beta, but yeah it's a weird ass requirement especially since it is apparently quite easy to exploit some vulnerable signed drivers to inject shit into memory anyway.
