I’ve always disabled that feature since it doesn’t play nice with Linux and it seemed complicated for no real benefit.

Have any of you tried installing Ubuntu with secure boot? Is it complicated? What’s the process like?

    Secure boot means only signed code can run in the kernel/ring 0. Grub, as the loader, needs to be signed as well. Basically anything with system privileges needs to be signed. If I remember right you need to enroll the signing key on installation, and the rest is handled automatically, but you can’t use any custom kernel or kernel drivers.
