hei @rocksj long time no see…

@rocksj

I disabled secure boot while installing os. is it ok to turn back on or should i just keep the secure boot of?

• as long as you want to be able to boot EnderavourOS secure boot needs to be off.

@rocksj

My laptop has rtx3060 and latest intel cards so i added ibt=off on initial usb boot to run the installer and worked fine. Now when i boot into the os without ibt=off option it takes long time to boot the system but when i include ibt=off it takes seconds to boot. So what should i use and what are the drawbacks. Is there any way to edit the file to make permanent?

• the option is not added to the Bios/Firmware it is a kernel boot option added while booting the Linux Kernel.
  To have it permanently added you need to add it to grub configuration:

• If i want to uninstall endeavour OS in future changing boot option in bios and deleting the partion will be alright or should i do something else?
• What happens at major windows updates will it delete every thing? how to safely update windows?

You will need to remove the nvram boot entry and set it to use the Windows ESP again.
Depending on how you setup.
Updating Windows should not harm… but there are cases where it happens that windows were changing/deleting stuff so nothing someone would give a guarantee on here.
