this is really stupid advice. Secureboot should be installed on laptop otherwise your device is as good as open. Sure it has some CVEs but its a big step up in security and its getting better and better on linux.
This performance issue is likely due to an issue with the driver not with secure boot itself. Maybe since it is an old driver it wasnt signed.

What advantage does secure boot have compared to full disk encryption? The only examples I’ve seen have been contrived evil maid attack that fails under scrutiny.

I second SavvyWolf. Full disk encryption is better than SecureBoot. SB is security theater for people who don’t know what they’re doing and don’t know how to avoid getting their laptop infected in the first place. As I said *before*, SB has already been *defeated*. Every hacker/malware can bypass it already. It’s like pretending you have armor on and going headlong into a sword fight.
