So probably not clear from title but I’d say this is a Linux problem. Basically I’m using sbctl to sign the cachyos kernel on fedora since it eeks out a little performance and also as I understand it it uses a slightly differently scheduler so my computer doesn’t lock up when hitting a steam download hard. I’ve only just started getting the error recently so I’m assuming it’s related to the MS secure boot key stuff that happened in June. I have confirmed that using the default provision from my mobo doesn’t trigger the vanguard error. Trying to figure out a solution, otherwise I guess I have half a mind to just nuke shitty windows forever again. I’ll take either an alternative solution to the cachyos kernel or a solution to the keys. What I don’t understand is doesn’t sbctl enroll the default keys from your mobos firmware anyway? Is this simply that ANY modification to my secure boot keys is somehow a problem with vanguard now? Thanks all!

    What’s the “default provision” on your motherboard and which one are you currently using? If secure boot is enabled with TPM, Valorant should boot. It doesn’t matter that you have another OS installed as long as it isn’t running at the same time as Windows.

      Default is whatever the motherboard provisions when reset to default settings. I’m using custom which is my own keys generated with sbctl + whatever is baked into my motherboard or at least that’s what I understand sbctl will do.

        Yeah that’s weird. Does sbctl status say Secure Boot: Enabled? What does it say on Vendor Keys?
