Recenty i bought a laptop called acer swift go and i have plan to install linux on that but i find many issues mainly secureboot
I cant boot fedora or ubuntu with secure boot turned on i hope this community have many users who have a deep knowledge about if they could help.
This is the error
Here is my bios settings
I don’t want to use windows…
If you’re trying to install Linux on a computer with Secure Boot on, it won’t work. You need to disable Secure Boot before installing your preferred Linux distribution. Afterwards, you can reenable it in BIOS.
If anything, it is a good thing that it failed since that is the entire point of Secure Boot. Just don’t forget to turn it back on afterwards 
Also, do you have Nvidia drivers? Secure Boot tends to make some features not work very well out of box (i.e. Hibernate)
Why? That’s not how it’s supposed to work.
It is a ryzen 7 ultra book does not have any dedicated gpu.
Oh my bad. That hasn’t been a concern for some distributions recently. To correct myself, it really depends on a bunch of other factors that could make secure boot not work
No not true i have other device where i can boot live with a fedora media without turning off secure boot i can easily use fedora on that…
@brivacy what did you use to create the installer, the official Fedora Media Creation Tool, or some third-party disk writing software?
I have used fedora media writer from fedora first make a ubuntu bootable
Next with Rufus in windows fedora workstation bootable with iso and next in dd more both in gpt and mbr mode but does not work show me that error…
I have asked acer also
X.com
Also asked in fedora
Also in acer community…
I am thinking if ventoy could solve the issue…which is the last option left after that i had to install fedora without secure boot.
If you need any details you can ask me btw.
Btw at first i really want to thank you guys for helping me here. I really appreciate that.

But with fedora i dont see this efi options
Let me send this.
What they said in the Fedora forum is also what I am thinking.
This sounds like the signing keys in bios are not what are expected by the OS so the system will not load the kernel with secure boot.
You might be able to use that “Select an UEFI file as trusted for executing” option in your BIOS to get past this.
Unfortunately I’m not familiar enough with Acer to know much more than this. Everything with Linux “should” work with secure boot in theory these days, but many individual manufacturers have buggy UEFIs and secure boot implementations that can make it a bit of a crap shoot. Worst case you can try installing without secure boot and then enabling secure boot after installation, which isn’t ideal but sometimes necessary.
acer seems like the worse brand i have ever seen.
i have installed on dell msi and lenovo.
i personally have a dell system apple system and a msi modern laptop amd one i have never soon bios this complicated.
Yeah I suppose it is kind of pointless since you already have the laptop but Acer is probably dead last on my list of manufacturers I’d ever consider.
I am still looking into how i can install linux in that devices the worse part is no one have made a video that show the process…If you know someone if they can help me. Fix.
I mean you can disable secure boot and go on about your day if you would like…
I have an SFG14-72 and installed Fedora on it.
In the UEFI in the “Security” tab you can “Select an UEFI file as trusted for executing” and Secure Boot shouldn’t complain.
After you finished the installation this discussion and this issue will likely be relevant to you since by default fedora doesn’t recognize the speakers and only shows them as a non-working “Dummy Output”.
Fwiw, Ventoy, as far as I’m aware, isn’t a good option due to an huge security issue. Please take a look at:
But in live boot evrything works except my fingerprint
Which file i need to select… Can you help.
