Linux warning

According to this YouTuber, millions of computer will become unusable on June 24, 2026 (especially Linux machines). Now, I don't know if I believe this guy or not, but this is something I think everyone should at least be aware of.

If the threat were real, major Linux companies and cybersecurity organisations would likely already be warning users about it.

I asked ChatGPT:

There is a real Secure Boot certificate issue coming up on 24 June 2026, but claims that "millions of computers will become unusable" appear to be overstated. The main risk seems to be for unmaintained Linux installations, old installation media and certain embedded devices. Fully updated mainstream Linux distributions should receive fixes before the deadline.

I'm really happy that I can easily pop into command line Linux in Windows these days. Some things are just easier. I use it for searching for files a lot.

Linux warnings can definitely be frustrating, especially when the message isn't very descriptive. In many cases, keeping your system updated and checking the logs carefully helps identify the root cause. If the issue becomes more complex, professional software services can save a lot of time by diagnosing configuration problems and preventing similar issues in the future. Thanks for sharing this discussion—it'll be useful for others facing the same warning.

i don't think that it is a true and it is just a ragebait

You can either install the updated Secure Boot Cert or you can disable Secure Boot. This is also only for older hardware that doesn't have the new cert already. Also, you can have numerous certs installed at the same time so you can have the new cert and previous cert installed.

Petarus,

There are also commands we can run from the command prompt that will tell us quickly and easily if our certificates are up to date

I reinstalled Windows 11 temporarily and i instantly regretted it. The CPU heating is just ridiculous.
But reason is, GOG version of FF4 3D remake offfline installers had a bug in them that made them crash? So i decided to use GOG Galaxy launcher, just to get through 3rd playthrough past giant of babil (Because it always crashes around there normally). And then just carry that save file over.

But then i asap installed Linux Mint to try it, since i have had Ubuntu for a while. And i am unsure if its PC driver settings? But Wifi is less worse on Linux Mint i noticed. But may need to give it 1 month before i say so. All i know is. Windows is something i refuse to go back to.
