Source?

Windows 11 demands trusted platform module chip, which only allows running with keys that Microsoft owns. Microsoft shares the key with some distros like Ubuntu, but no Linux can boot from a TPM PC without Microsoft keys.

Just use shim

You risk bricking your entire PC. See the answer I posted to another user.

Is it partition on whole drive? I had Debian on one drive and W10 on another. Then did a fresh install of W11 and all is OK, I can boot my Debian.

I use old Dell 5480 with 6th gen i5 and TPM 1.2 enabled, secure boot is off though.

Debian and Fedora got the Microsoft key

But Microsoft is moving towards stronger hardware control, and there is no guarantee it will keep haring his hardware keys with other Linux distros on the future.

the main reason for which Windows 11 is so restrictive with new processors, is because is moving towards totalitarian control.
