    Would Linux have the same issue if secure boot is enabled and the certificate expire?

    Secure boot is a useful security measure. But users should have the ability to install and update certs. Some hardware (vendors) might not allow this.

      Gives the illusion of security without being secure. Get the drive in a separate machine and, unless encrypted, secure boot is security theatre. Windows login password is similarly useless when the drive can be accessed when attached elsewhere.

      Get rid of secure boot, install a granny-safe Linux distribution like Mint and get your drive LUKS encrypted.

      Secure boot is supposed to continue your reliance on proprietary software, any security it tacks on is unintentional.
