I was planning on trying the open beta for Battlefield 6 next week but you need to enable Secure Boot. I heard mixed reviews about that; some say it is fine while other say it'll open your computer down to the lowest level, so I don't know what to think. Also, Battlefield 2042 now also require Secure Boot.

I'll keep looking into it but if some of you have any knowledge about it, I'll be happy to hear your thoughts.

I didn't try to turn it on because I heard some scary thing about it (I'm still looking into it) so I'll wait until I have more information before deciding what to do. If that means that I can't play Battlefield (6 or 2042), so be it. I just don't want to willingly open my computer to some company who have a really tarnished reputation.

Is the game really worth that degree of privacy invasion and loss of control over your device? Are you a reddit mod?

No, but my friends seem to be interested and we haven't find a game to play together in a long time. Better luck next time.

Are you a reddit mod?

I'm not a faggot, so no.

Makes me wonder what else secure boot could be used for such as delivering ads directly to your device.

If some software says I have to make changes that puts my computer exposed and potentially myself in danger then nope. M$ even had to back off Secure Boot to get Win 11 out there. Oracle has a write up for VirtualBox to get it running.
