   Admittedly, I'm considering putting Mint on this machine once I'm done   
   playing Fallout London because it supports Secure Boot whereas Pop_OS!   
   doesn't. As much as there is to hate about the feature, there are things   
   to like. I wouldn't mind at least having the impression that I'm being   
   protected from that kind of malware.
