You could if you want to, but if your distribution provides a UEFI bootloader (shim / grub / systemd-boot / whatever) signed by the default MS-trusted cert, or you're willing to set up everything yourself with your own certs, it doesn't hurt to enable it either (except when an incident like this happens).
- zahlman 2y agoThe Mint forums pretty much tell everyone to blanket disable secure boot because nobody seems to know how to make it work, certainly not well enough to explain it to a beginner.
- hypeatei 2y agoI accidentally checked "install media codecs" on the Mint installation which requires secure boot. Didn't think much of it but something went wrong later on in the setup causing a restart. Well, it left the secure boot stuff in a weird state and forced me to reset the CMOS because nothing was working or booting.
- Arnavion 2y agoMaybe. From what I know of sbctl I think it would be fine for a beginner, but I can't say for sure because I use my own custom setup, not sbctl.
