lol, yes. Thank you I disabled secureboot and it boots ok now. Thanks for the feedback it does help understanding a bit about how this all works. If that wasn't obvious enough I'm a big noob with Linux.

Anyway, can I leave secureboot disabled and be fine? or is this MOK business something I should solve right now?

Thanks again

My understanding is secure boot is kinda worthless so it's not that important to sort out. It let's the bios trust the OS but that is a fairly limited attack vector. I don't know enough about it though, so feel free to enroll the MOK keys bc it's not that hard tbh, just annoying

Ok thank you! I'd do it but I don't fully understand the implications. Can I for instance re-generate a MOK key from whatever distro I install next and use that?

I believe so. You just enroll the new keys and then you're good
