The one in my Dell laptop takes quite long to get into and out of. It’s not something you would want to use regularly.

- Quekid5 4y agoIf it's for recovery, etc. then that may not be a real issue? EDIT: Anyway, I'd probably only ever rely on an external USB stick, but I don't know how that interacts with Secure Boot, tbh. I use Ventoy + loads of images of popular distros. Can fit quite a few distros on a 128 GiB USB stick! :D
- sgtnoodle 4y agoAs long as the bootloader/kernel image is signed, I don't think it matters to secure boot whether or not it was loaded off a USB stick. Presumably the firmware implementing the secure boot check must copy the image into RAM before verifying it anyway, at which point the USB storage doesn't matter. Of course, the firmware may be configured to refuse to boot a USB drive as a matter of policy.
