   Disabling secure boot is an option in many, if not most, devices. I have   
   done it many times, even on a Surface tablet.   
      
   Not all distros have signed loaders, so if you do need to use the secure   
   boot, you could be locked in to one of the big names.   
      
   The only real use case for secure boot is part of defense in depth from   
   someone who can get physical access to machine. Or to try to lock owners   
   out of their hardware, but who would do that?
