My experience is very dated, but I bought a used windows Asus laptop in 2013 and put Ubuntu on it and experienced no problems. I had been using Linux for a long time, so maybe I remember this with rose glasses, but it was very straight forward. Also an integrated GPU, but of the 2013 era. I think the laptop was a 2012 model.

Config isn’t hard, it just takes time 🙂

Check please!

Not sure if signing up is good. Pat Buchanan? Alexander The Great? And of course arresting Democrats.

Thanks! Currently I am using Mint, and it looks like secure boot is disabled.

Thanks for your replies ❤️

Maybe, but what about units supplied by a Linux builder? My last computer was a windows machine I installed Linux on, but that was before this I think. It shipped with windows 7.

I definitely have UEFI, not sure about secure boot.

Not sure, I have a computer from a Linux builder but it still has UEFI. I am trying to figure out where I stand on this.

How would we know if this will affect us? I have been running Linux distros for 20 years and didn’t know Microsoft was involved at any level in firmware.
