Why do games require secureboot to be on then? Its gotta be related to their kernel level anti cheat.
I think both windows and Linux turn on a number of kernel hardening options when secure boot is on.
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
