Secureboot

Hey, so I have a question. Of course, I tried searching online but only found outdated and unpromising results, so I’ll cut to the chase. Is it possible to dual boot Windows 11 and Garuda Linux? Switching between both OSs isn’t a problem, but having to disable and enable secure boot is a pain. And before you say, ‘just disable secure boot,’ I am a Valorant player…

Hope to get an answer soon!

Welcome :slight_smile:

Just disable secure boot.

It is possible to dual boot with M$ but not supported by Garuda Linux.
It works fine on my notebooks.

If something failed, please, search in forum first.

You can also enable secure boot using sbctl.

First reinstall grub with secure boot support (see GRUB - ArchWiki):

grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=garuda --modules="tpm" --disable-shim-lock

Then follow up with the instructions here:

Enter secure boot setup mode and create and enroll the keys (-f is used to keep firmware builtins):

sbctl create-keys
sbctl enroll-keys -m -f

Then sign all the required binaries:

sbctl verify | sed 's/^✗ \(.*\) is not signed$/sbctl sign -s \1/e'
find /boot/vmlinuz-* | xargs -n1 sbctl sign -s
