Secure boot is a problem for users with secondary alternative OS’s (eg Haiku). I even have a DOS tool which needs high precision timing which no general purpose multitasking OS can provide. These alternative systems are hampered by secure boot.
And speaking of up to date video drivers, these checks are a plague of usability. If I have stable driver rev 235, why would I install latest buggy version 246? Eg. AMD has 2 flavours of drivers, Adrenalin which has “optimisations”, but crashes, and the Pro drivers which are older but more stable, and have 10 bit support, more colour spaces etc. I’m done dealing with experimental drivers, give me stability 100% time. Games which insist that I run experimental drivers and secure boot can get stuffed.
