Comment on [Help] Steam Deck OLED | Windows 10 Dual Boot | How to Enable Secure Boot

As far as I understand, the steps you linked to are currently the only way to do this. Personally, it’s not something I’d be willing to go through. That guide explicitly states that if you accidentally lose the keys, you’re not able to disable Secure Boot.
Additionally, since the SteamOS kernel needs to be signed manually, this seems like you could run into some “fun times” when SteamOS updates the kernel and loses the signature. You’d need to re-sign the image every time the kernel gets updated.
To me, the risks outweigh the rewards - especially since we don’t know how well BF6 runs on the deck. Of course, at the end of the day its a choice you have to make yourself, but that’s my take on the matter.

Yeah I figured this is the end of the rope for Steam Deck Secure Boot. I bumped the Steam post that the creator of the GitHub guide made to see if things have changed since 2022/2023, but I’m not betting on it.
Honestly if I go through with any troubleshooting to fix Secure Boot, it just means I’ll be bending the knee to EA who are a shit company in the first place. I’d rather boycott one of their games for these shitty practices and play some of the older BF games that at least still have server browsers and don’t require Secure Boot (yet).
Risks absolutely outweigh the rewards on this one, 100%. Hate to see so many EA and M$ shills out there defending all this
