Battlefield 6 requires secure boot to be enabled and active (lemmy.world)

I dual boot with win 11, I do so for programming purposes, not gaming. I read online that the game straight up blocks Linux on all fronts (typical EA). So, I booted into win 11 and launched the beta. It still refused to start and complained that secure boot was "disabled". Booted into BIOS and it was enabled, but not active. I had to reset the keys to the windows default keys to be able to play this game. This is a no go for me. Not giving them my money until they stop this bullshit. Just wanted to let everyone know the situation so far.

Personally it's not a hatred for Secure Boot itself. It's a hatred for these companies requiring something that 1) is not necessary for their software to function and 2) offers little to no benefit for their software

I refuse to let these corporations tell me how to use my hardware. Right now, I dual boot and I want to continue to dual boot, at least for the foreseeable future.

I get irritated when people say "it's no big deal, it's easy to enable", etc.

You all are just enablers.

Didn't all these companies use the same demo keys for production anyway, negating the entire exercise? I swear I read a article saying that.
