Was kinda hoping that was the case in the event I borked my secureboot setup and needed to shut it off just so I could get back in. My understanding was that secureboot was more about making my kernel harder to rootkit. With respect to that, however, it seems that keeping the kernel updated is also a pretty fair defense against rootkits.
Iād disabled TPM as well (the AMD stuttering thing). Turns out the latest kernels have a workaround without my having to risk a motherboard BIOS update. So, I turned TPM back on and, so far, it seems OK. It was while I was reading up on this that I learned of secureboot and started trying to āeducate myselfā on it.
Wikipedia article is interesting, thanks

Well crap, now Iām reading up more on TPM as well and, given that my PC is under my physical control at all times, Iām starting to wonder if I even need that if I never intend to install Windows?
But can you trust yourself?!
Perhaps not, but Iāll always know how to find the culprit
