Original: 😣 Ubuntu drops Btrfs, XFS & ZFS boot support with Secure Boot https://www. omgubuntu.co.uk/2026/10/ubuntu -2610-secure-b
Ubuntu 26.10 no longer supports booting from Btrfs, XFS or ZFS filesystems when Secure Boot is enabled, a change tied to how GRUB handles these formats. Linux users and open source communities are debating the move, with some criticising the reduced flexibility for advanced setups and others noting Secure Boot scenarios are limited.
Why now: The change affects enthusiasts and administrators who rely on alternative filesystems, prompting debate in the Linux community.
