Without any desire to start a distro-war, I'd prefer to stick with
Fedora.  While I'm certainly able to alter settings in BIOS, I'm
concerned about how the move to secure boot might alter the ecosystem
that currently exists for nVidia drivers.  I've appreciated all of the
insight that you and others have provided.
