Is secure boot actually bad ? (sh.itjust.works)

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.

Thanks!

That's good to know.
As I need my laptop for work, I can't really risk such experiments...

Yeah, mine is just for mucking around at home. I mostly browse the web and play casual games. Nothing important is stored there, so if I need to reinstall, then so be it.
