I am not entirely sure if is the correct section of the forum for this question but from the sections available I thought this to be the best choice.
I've been given a Lenovo Yoga 310-11IAP laptop which was on it's way to an electronic waste bin. It was setup to run Win10 but no longer did so. I was told it no longer worked after a failed update which would not install. As this has only a 32GB MMC drive I wondered if there was now insufficient room to both download and install the update but as I did not want to run Win10 this was not an issue. My intention was to run Mint Linux Mate v22 and multi boot with two pups, BookwormPup 10.0.7 and FP96-4CE. This machine has no optical drive so I burned the Mint Linux iso to a USB flash drive. I then changed the boot order to boot from the USB drive first. I was sure I had read somewhere that I had to disable secure boot and I did this but I know think that this may have been unnecessary. I installed Linux Mint. This took up about 13.8GB of the drive. I shrunk the partition in which Mint resides to about 20GB thinking this would be enough if I didn't add a lot of stuff. I made a new partition formatted ext4 from the now unallocated part of the drive and made frugal installs of BookwormPup 10.0.7 and FP96-4CE in this partition and used the version of grub in Mint to boot these. All of this works using legacy boot, however, I now think that I should not have disabled secure boot as all three of the above OS should work with secure boot. So my question is if I am not using Win10 is there any "security" advantage booting my linux OS with secure boot or am I OK to continue using legacy boot.
