So I’ve never actually used a machine with UEFI before I’ve always been on older machines with BIOS.
I got a Dell Optiplex 3070 Intel core 9500T (gen 9) 2.1 GHz 16GB ram 256gb SSD but it has windows 11 on it.
I hate Windows, and I don’t want any trace of it left on my machine. I’d prefer Debian but would even take Ubuntu over Windows What is the best guide for this for someone who has never messed with UEFI before?
Always back up your stuff, but after doing so, the process is pretty much boot to bios, set boot priority with linux usb at the top, and away you go.
If you have secure boot enabled, you might have to enter a pass code or passphrase but otherwise its identical to traditional bios. If you want secure boot, which prevents someone else from doing this process to your machine, re enable after you’ve installed nvidia drivers otherwise you’ll have to provide it your secure boot password during and sometimes it likes to break.
