This is outdated information. Linux has supported secure boot for quite a while now.

    And Microsoft is shutting out most third parties in the near future because of Crowdstrike, so Linux likely won't be supporting Secure Boot in the future, even if someone did want to enable it for some odd reason.

    Do you have any advice for someone that dual boots SteamOS and Windows 10 on a Steam Deck?

    I've heard online that since SteamOS manually signs keys or something, that if any changes happen to the kernel that later need to be updated by SteamOS, I'd need to re-sign the keys or whatever. Idk I'm not well versed in any of this

    I've heard it's as easy as downloading the M$ keys to enable Secure Boot, but I also don't want to brick my Deck.

    Windows 10 support is ending soon so there’s no reason to have it on your steam deck. Steam will stop supporting it sooner after Microsoft does, just like steam does with Apples operating system.

    Windows 10 commercial is ending, not the LTSC versions. Those are good for another 2-7 years iirc

    No, they are killing it unless you pay and extra $30 a month and use a Microsoft account and kill local accounts.

    That's for commercial releases of Windows 10 dumbass. There are two other enterprise releases that will have free security updates for 2-7 more years.

    Which is again proving my point. Steam is selling games to people with enterprise licenses.

    You never made that point. Stop moving the goal posts.

    Do we have any evidence that Steam will not supported anything Windows 10 related, given that commercial licenses are ending and many people are shifting to enterprise licenses?

    And it's not like Steam hasn't already been doing this. People have used enterprise licenses for legit and nefarious purposes for years. I doubt they'd change anything in October. They aren't owned by M$
