[QUOTE="Brahman, post: 1042497, member: 11847"] The issue is only with Nvidia proprietary drivers and that too in distros which do not support closed source drivers ( like fedora, they do not ship closed source drivers but fedora comes with open source Nvidia driver). Closed source drivers can be installed on distros that support secure boot by creating your own MOK key and inserting it in shim, some distros does this automatically like ubuntu and opensuse, for fedora [URL='https://blog.monosoul.dev/2022/05/17/automatically-sign-nvidia-kernel-module-in-fedora-36/']you can follow this guide[/URL]. All linux distros support UEFI mode and you can install all of then in a uefi system. But If you are asking does linux distros support secure boot, then its a different answer. currently Ubuntu, Fedora, Linux mint, Redhat, Opensuse, Centos, Debian, Zorinos, Vanilla os, Mx Linux are some of the distros which ship with Microsoft signed shim and provide proper secure boot. With Arch and its derivatives you can sign the shim with the key you generate in your system and later you can insert the key in uefi bios MOK , its a tedious process.
