    I have had a lot of experience with Linux on laptops, and have had
    similar issues. Most, if not all, Linux distributions now support
    secure boot in UEFI systems. The problem is when the BIOS
    manufacturer cheats and only supports Windows and ignores all other
    operating systems - which is common. If a current distro (in the
    last year or so) does not support UEFI, or if it does but will not
    boot, then you MUST turn off UEFI/Secure Boot in the BIOS. <br>
    <br>
    In this case, Joe is looking to install a distro built on Debian 9,
    which fully supports UEFI. I have sent Joe the relevant instructions
    on changing to Legacy mode, which should fix his problem. The good
    news is that all his hardware should be fully supported out of the
    box without any problems..<br>
