That includes posts generated by LLMs. It doesn’t matter if you “don’t have the time” or “would’ve written the same anyway”, or if “everyone’s doing it geez get with the times”.

For now it’ll also include “AI”-assisted projects that haven't had at least two months of (public, verifiable) dev time behind them.

CachyOS is adding a dedicated EACv2-compatible kernel plus a Secure Boot setup guide so users can optionally meet Epic’s new EACv2 requirements without changing their normal optimized kernel. (github.com)

I have yet to see a machine that doesn't have a tainted kernel (meaning the kernel wasn't signed, a module wasn't signed, or both) in the wild. Not even with Ubuntu.

At the same time, requiring TPM 2.0 is the same anti consumer thing Win11 did.

Secure boot is a pain to set up on Linux because it was never meant to be for Linux. It's a Microsoft invention that Microsoft holds the keys for.

Kexec is useful on a lot of machines for faster reboot times, and disabling it can make them significantly longer.

LSM BPF is scary and sketchy, especially if you're giving a proprietary blackbox access to it. You should not have random software accessing that.

Actually, I setup secure boot, it isnt that much of a pain. If the docs were more clear, it's like a nice 4-7 commands, with some reboots (clarity missing in arch wiki)

I can't even enable it because I have an nvidia card that doesn't support the new ""open source"" driver, so I'm always loading tainted binary blobs.
