Belena is simpler, it’s just writing an image to a drive.

Ventoy is complicated and changes the booted image to make it work. That sometimes breaks things.

I don’t see it there either, but you can see her responses to people on Reddit at reddit.com/u/lydiawinters

Misleading title. This is nothing new, just Manifest V2 being removed. Ad blockers like uBlock Origin Lite still work.

Could you clarify your second point?

Hoping that the preliminary Wayland support makes it in.

If you continue without adding the keys, you may have issues if you rely on out of tree drivers like Nvidia. Personally, I would hit continue then leave secure boot off.

You can still do MOK management when Secure Boot is off.

For Secure Boot, the kernel is "signed" with a key. During boot up, Secure Boot checks to make sure that key is valid. Most kernels are signed with Microsoft's key that is preloaded on basically every system. However, not all kernels can be signed with Microsoft's key; if you install a proprietary driver (which you likely selected to during the setup), to continue using secure boot you need to sign the kernel using your own key.

That's what MOK management is for. You are adding your own key to your system to use for Secure Boot.

Personally, I just disable Secure Boot. While it does have some security benefits, it's not worth the headache IMO.

It says that in the 9to5Linux article, not the original source. The blog post simply says "becomes ready for inclusion in the next version of Cinnamon."

Not to say that the 9to5Linux article is wrong since Linux Mint very well could ship the new theme as an option, but not the default theme.

I don’t think this new design will be used in Linux Mint by default. I believe this is just for distros that use Cinnamon’s default theme, which is different from Linux Mint’s default theme.

But who knows, maybe it could also become default in Linux Mint.

I haven’t been able to try it yet. I only use Proton, but Valve compiles it without winewayland.

Not directly helping with SteamOS 3. But this financial support is helping Arch improve.
