eh, honestly imo, secure boot isn't even worth having on a desktop anyways

Tim not a security expert by any means though
SI did tho. Thats how i was fine for the past few weeks up until today. Then this happened and i got the kernel message so i disabled secure boot and was fine afterwards
Talright sorry for the assumption
Ti still stand by not caring to have secure boot turned on personally
Dim in the same camp, you have to be careful about enabling it and enrolling your own custom keys and removing microsoft keys, ive heard of people bricking their systems doing this on some boards. I'd buy a system76 system with coreboot at some point in the future just to get away from secureboot
SNo worries lol. Yeah I figured itd be fine to have it disabled since the pc bazzite is installed to is essentially a console and nothing more. I dont use it ever for general browsing and other pc use.
Tmy chromebook runs coreboot rn
SWhat does secure boot even do?
Dprotects you against rootkits, which is malware at the bootloader level
Dwell... its supposed to do that
SHow does one end up catching that? Downloading malicious files?
5but mostly a tool for microsoft to stop people from installing linux
Dit became apparent it was just microsoft trying to lock PCs down
Dthat can be a way yes, malware just alters the bootloader so it always loads on boot and goes undetected by antivirus scanners, and sits on your computer, either logging everything you do, or punches holes in your network to allow bad actors to infiltrate
SInteresting. Well fingers crossed that doesnt happen to me lol I just wanna game
Dnah, just don't download things from shady places, which bazzite helps you do that
Dyou gotta go out of your way to install malware, the only way you can download anything bad is randomly downloading stuff from shady websites, or if official repos would be compromised, which i think they have contingencies for anyway
Dthe shadiest thing you can do on linux is install random things off the AUR tbh, on bazzite you need distrobox for that. The only thing distrobox would have access to is your home dir, not sure if it can even get your /usr directory, i don't think so
T/usrah right, even better haha, its why i went from fulltime EOS to Bazzite too, security is better for this and other reasons
Don Bazzite you get selinux out of the box too, which is one more layer to protect yourself, if all you do is download and play games from reputable places and keep your system up to date, there's nothing to worry about, just follow best safe practices
TSELinux is so nice! saddens me when i hear people take it out of enforcing mode sometimes 
VEh I only do it if it gets in the way.
Tsometimes that happens 
V
Dmy coworkers in dev environments be like:
alias getrotated=setenforce 0
GPersonally SELinux is a huge reason to stick to Fedora based distros
Tone of my ram sticks is fucked, guess I'm only working with one for a little bit
Ksorry to hear that, but at least that answers wtf was going on
Tso do you think it ruined my bazzite installs or would they be fine ?
KI wouldn't trust anything installed on a system with bad ram
Tfair enough
GYeah bad memory can cause a whole load of issues down the line
SHow would I give an app 'Admin access' in bazzite?
Kwhat app?
SAlVR
Kshould work as-is
Krunning apps as admin isn't a thing on linux
SIDK what's happening then it's telling me it wants admin perms to create firewall rules and even when fully setup I only get a black screen with audio
SAnd steam VR throws up error code 109
CHey discord isn't streaming anything on my new install. It just says loading. I'm using 2 monitors.
C*1 monitor and 1 steam deck
Tyou mean screen sharing?
Cyes on discord
Tyeah that barely functions on linux
Ci thought audio was the only issue?
Tusually yeah. idk sometimes that happens too though
Cthanks anyways tho
Tdiscord on chrome works fine
Tjust the audio doesnt work there
