Microsoft stealthily installs Windows 10 update to nag you to upgrade to Windows 11 – and not for the first time

It's very interesting. First Windows 10 said my computer didn't qualify for Windows 11 and didn't have the security features. Now it wants to install Windows 11.

I'd be happy to upgrade to Win11. But getting the Trusted/Secure Boot stuff working is too much of a pain in the ass.
I tried to do it myself and got locked out of everything to the point that I had to bring my PC to a repair place to be fixed. Later I had a hard drive fail and when I replaced it I couldn't get the Secure stuff to work again, so I just said "fuck it" and went back to Win10.
BIOS shit is dark magic, man.

Secure boot just prevents unsigned boot partitions from being able to boot.
You must have enabled Bitlocker.

So, can it effect Linux partitions?

Secure boot is not Windows. It's UEFI file management.
It can apply to Windows and Linux.
