Bazzite wouldn't even install on my modern hardware.I came here looking for answers and only found more questions
Is Bazzite still the go-to easy option? I'd love to try SteamOS but alas my leather jacket-wearing GPU disallows that.
Im on CachyOS which has been a dream so far.
Also been using Cachy for a few months now and it's been flawless. For software development, design and gaming, not a single hiccup. A select few games have some extra steps when it comes to modding, but that's all kind of expected regardless. Everything I need and want runs out of the box so far.
I use it with Fedora simply cause it works out box
Cachy can support secure boot quite easily with GRUB or Limine, not sure on other bootloaders
Did when I dual booted Windows as needed it there but I don't even have a Windows install anymore so didn't see the point of keeping it on for Linux.
Epic Games just launched a Linux native launcher however, which will require Secure Boot amongst other things for any anti cheat enabled titles.

How can an individual app require Secure Boot?
There's actually a very long list of requirements. Its all part of the entire eco system Epic are stating is required to deliver a Linux version of their anti cheat. Secure Boot is one part of the chain that provides integrity and other checks.
Tbh I'm just hopeful it leads to EA doing something similar, I'd love to play BF on Linux but more importantly I want F1 26 playable cause why the F does the single player portion need kernel level anti cheat??
Ubuntu drops Btrfs, XFS & ZFS boot support with Secure Boot
Canonical has changed how Ubuntu 26.10 boots on system with Secure Boot enabled, in an effort to reduce the attack surface of the boot process.

Talking of secure boot , Ubuntu has taken a wrecking ball to it unless you use ext4 or fat.
That sucks. Btrfs has some really nice features. Having said that I've only actually used btrfs on OpenSUSE Tumbeweed so it is not a great loss for me.Ubuntu drops Btrfs, XFS & ZFS boot support with Secure Boot

Edit: Should have read the article. This change only affects the /boot partition. Other partitions can be whatever filesystem you like.

That makes two of us, The way people kicked off on reddit wrongly gave the impression it was ext4 drive or nothing.

Tbh it's par for the course for Reddit, I don't think any of the subs I'm apart of actually read the article/link and just rage based off title
Tbh I didn't even think the boot partition could be BTRFS, I've only ever seen ext4 and fat32 iirc
so here is where I put my obligatory PikaOS pimp
The chap at explainingcomputers just done a review.
I have been using it on a Nvidia Optimus powered Thinkpad P50 for ages and on a older Haswell based desktop with a Vega 56. No issues to report in either case, it is a good alternative to CachyOS if you want a cutting edge (for Debian) rolling update system. I was going to use it on my main desktop, but CachyOS has been great and hasn't died badly enough I haven't been able to fix it to allow PikaOS a chance.
Edit - does that count as my obligatory pimp of PikaOS?
Additional edit - Don't let the whimsical default wallpapers put you off, PikaOS is a serious bit of kit.

Agreed. I used it for a while and really liked it (once I'd changed the look of it).
Not unlike CachyOS thenThe wallpaper does give the impression that the devs are sitting there in gamer girl cat ears!
