> the reason I don't do it is.. my laptop is buggy. often when I enable secure boot, something periodically gets corrupted (often when the laptop powers off due to low power) and when it gets up, it doesn't verify anything. slightly insane tech

Reminds me of my old Chromebook Pixel I wiped chromeos from. Every time it booted I had to press Ctrl-L (iirc) to continue the boot, any other keypress would reenable secure boot and the only way I knew to recover from that was to reinstall chromeos, which would wipe my linux partition and my files with it. Needless to say, that computer taught me good backup discipline...
