    Fuck, I’m gonna have to enable secure boot (and use windows) to play the BF6 open beta, am I gonna get the same buillshit ?

    If it doesn’t affect my Linux drives I don’t care much tbh, I’ll probably just nuke windows and reinstall it

      Even if you enable Secure Boot, you can disable BitLocker, and that will prevent this from happening.

      The only thing BitLocker really does is make it so that if somebody steals your computer and doesn’t have your password, all of your files will be encrypted, so they don’t get your files too.

      Depending on your risk preference, it is okay to disable it.

      Of course, if your computer does not have a password, or if the password is something really easy, then there’s no point in bitlocker in the first place.
