So probably not clear from title but I’d say this is a Linux problem. Basically I’m using sbctl to sign the cachyos kernel on fedora since it eeks out a little performance and also as I understand it it uses a slightly differently scheduler so my computer doesn’t lock up when hitting a steam download hard. I’ve only just started getting the error recently so I’m assuming it’s related to the MS secure boot key stuff that happened in June. I have confirmed that using the default provision from my mobo doesn’t trigger the vanguard error. Trying to figure out a solution, otherwise I guess I have half a mind to just nuke shitty windows forever again. I’ll take either an alternative solution to the cachyos kernel or a solution to the keys. What I don’t understand is doesn’t sbctl enroll the default keys from your mobos firmware anyway? Is this simply that ANY modification to my secure boot keys is somehow a problem with vanguard now? Thanks all!

Kernel level anticheat decides to consider the presence of linux a problem : "I'd say this is a linux problem".

Yes, blaming the victim...

sigh what I clearly meant was it’s only solvable on the Linux side if at all. I realize that my wording wasn’t immaculate in this instance but it seems an overreaction for everyone to be responding this way. I’m primarily a Linux user first I literally only dual boot for this one game. In fact at this point I’ve been using Linux longer than I’ve been using Windows, and clearly reading the post I don’t really like windows. Feels disingenuous. I’m not blaming Linux, I’m merely qualifying it to actually make sense in this community otherwise the post would seem off base.
