So, is there any consensus if secure boot is even needed at all? I've read so many different opinions about this the past few days and have no idea.
imo if you dont have disk encryption then thats worse than not having secure boot.
secure boot mainly protects your computer from having certain hardware components and the bios tampered with right?
