Beware of UEFI/EFI ... don't know if your devices
have such new "features", as
it was hard for me to keep track of the different devices, the various
issues, and their place in your own scheme of things. But if you try to
install a Linux system on a newer machine that has UEFI, it will "protect"
you from the dangers of Linux and hackers. There are ways to disable UEFI,
though.
Like anything, to use it safely some (re-)education is involved, getting the
hang of new paradigms. I have two UEFI PCs. When I started composing this I was
doing my 7th (multiboot, adding OS #3 to an M.2 device) installation in UEFI
mode, *buntu 18.04, to become Tubuntu, to follow-up on a year-old, still open
TDE bug, but it's already finished and rebooted.
