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.

The biggest issue to me is that if you (the OS maker) wants a shim so you can use your own CA, you have to go through Microsoft. And they can just say no.

I think Tuxedo is still waiting on their shim.
