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.

Which makes this requirement even more meaningless because someone who wants to cheat by running a modified kernel will obviously know how to follow a tutorial to add his MOK and sign his version of the kernel.

Yup. All it does is restrict less sophisticated users, but surely they'd also be willing to follow a guide to configure it.
