    I have to disable Secure Boot No, you don't have to, you may want to for reasons but under no scenario you have to; To do this, I have to delete the PK keys Again, no, absolutely NOT; Your question, in a nutshell, suggests you don't know what you're doing or why. Perhaps better to ask about what problem are you trying to solve?... Commented Dec 29, 2023 at 12:09
  • Yes, I have reason to turn it off. And to do that via ASUS UEFI, I have to delete PK, or what? I just need to understand consequences of this action.

    No, you don't (unless you're planning to install an obsolete OS that doesn't support UEFI, in which case you shouldn't, obviously). Such comment nowadays sounds utterly ridiculous. This is a X-Y problem, as already mentioned. And no, to disable Secure Boot you just... disable Secure Boot! No need to to deleted keys and if you do the most likely scenario is not being able to boot anything. Now please either edit this question so it makes sense or just delete it and ask about the problem you're trying to solve, NOT about what you think is the solution and that clearly and unequivocally ISN'T.

    For what reason does secure boot need to be disabled? It's there to ensure the bootloader of an OS can't be infected with malware, such as a rootkit, and if there is an OS that doesn't have its signing cert within the UEFI firmware, it can be manually added through the UEFI firmware's boot page or the EFI shell IIRC

    I just messed up one thing. I did all without deleting PK keys. Thanks for your help.
