Just received my new laptop. Worked my way through the "Dell Secure BIOS", and now installing Debian, and removing Windows niark niark niark :) Always makes me gloat.

@cryptax It would be great to have some quick notes on all the BIOS settings you changed. The BIOS options are expanding so fast in recent years, and there are many unhappy surprises in them, like all the crazy networked things they do with shoddy TLS implementations and buggy daemons.

@eighthave actually, I didn't have to do that much, except disable the "secure boot" :/ and change the boot order.

@cryptax Secure Boot works fine on the last laptop I tried with . I didn't have to do anything there. I did have to disable all those shady networked "enterprise" "features". There were some new ones for me last time around.

@eighthave I had to disable it to be able to boot on a USB disk. I suppose I could put it back now that Debian is installed.
