Disabling Secure Boot will not require re-installing Linux, assuming that Linux was properly installed to begin with. (If the OP's Linux was restored from another computer, it might not work on the new one, but it probably will.) I switch Secure Boot on and off all the time on one of my test systems.

The restored system will be identical whether or not Secure Boot was active when it was restored. Thus, restoring the system a second time after disabling Secure Boot won't change its bootability vs. simply disabling Secure Boot.
