My girlfriend is trying to run Bazzite. She installed it, but she can't run it, because secure boot is turned on. She's using an Alienware M15 R7, and we can't find the secure boot setting. The manual says it should be in the boot configuration menu, but it's not there or in security either. How do you disabled secure boot on an M15 R7?

You should be able to enroll the Secure Boot key for Bazzite and keep it enabled. Instructions: https://docs.bazzite.gg/General/Installation_Guide/secure_boot/

Although, a windows update may nuke this, and require reinstalling bootloader/keys.

This is a good tip, if they are dual booting, but there is no reference to that in the post. I’d recommend to not dual boot. Less problems and no Windows

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.
