From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Got a "Perform MOK management" screen while trying to boot Linux Mint without Secure Boot with UEFI, what does it mean? (lemmy.eco.br)

Update to this post. Please read it before commenting!

So I ended up following instructions I found online and disabled secure boot in my BIOS and then tried to boot Linux Mint (version 21.2, Cinnamon Edition) with UEFI OS. However, as soon as I did that, i got a "Perform MOK management" screen that said the following:

Continue boot Enroll MOK Enroll key from disk Enroll hash from disk

Can anyone tell me what this means and what I should do? Do keep in mind I'm a total newbie when it comes to Linux. Thanks in advance!

Thank you for your response! So I can select Continue boot, install Mint and then reenable Secure Boot after I'm done installing?

If you continue without adding the keys, you may have issues if you rely on out of tree drivers like Nvidia. Personally, I would hit continue then leave secure boot off.
