Just out of curiosity, how good is the secure boot experience these days?

I've had to disable it on all my installations because of either nvidia drivers or virtual box modules. In general Arch based distros didn't seem too friendly for secure boot set up.

Every couple of years MS do an update that messes up multi-boot/dual boot. I'm sure it's on purpose at this point, and relatively sure "Secure Boot" is how they achieve it.

Still on Windows only for kids games. Linux user since last millennium.

As a Linux-only gamer since 2019 I wonder what kids games you are talking about?

There are things like Roblox that are really only usable under Windows due to a perverse idea of what "anti-cheat" should look like.

ah, I almost mentioned roblox but checking protondb it has gold status. So it should work?
